We have to LEARN that we can fail before failure is possible for us.
That's all for today, grasshopper.

Having been a lifeguard for many years, I can tell you confidently that newborn babies
cannot swim like olympians. Their heavy heads, poorly developed muscles, and lack of muscle coordination and proprioception result in the sinking like boulders if unattended.
