Not true! Newborn babies swim like olympic champions. Throw 'em right in the pool and they instinctively hold their breath and start paddling. So what's the difference between a newborn and a drowning victim? The drowning victim knows he can't swim. The baby doesn't know he can't swim.

We have to LEARN that we can fail before failure is possible for us.

That's all for today, grasshopper.
