“Never ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat

I think @Phillipe {Instead} with a comma after mean... my opinion .. With positive thinking and determination one can accomplish what they want . @Paula that's so true people would indeed be amazes of what they can get only if they TRY also have that encouragement form others..

Very true Dianne. In Holland the have a saying: "I-can't-do-it" and "I-don't-want-to-do-it" lies next to him on the grave yard. People would be amazed by what they could accomplish if they just had the courage to try. I have experienced that myself. Some things were not half as difficult as anticipated, other things were a struggle but i learned them in the process with some help of my friends.

LOL I think I would prefer this: "instead, start doing it" :) no offense meant, Dianne
