I never sat down and had a thought about the limitations I set on myself many years ago. You are really right in saying that we can do anything we want in anytime we want, with only being ready to work hard and search for inspiration. You are ridiciulously inspiring to me now to create a vision.. and even pursue it. This article is really inspiring.

His command of this complex game is astounding. I often get angry and frustrated when he demonstrates a difficult concept to me which is way above my PERCEIVED ability to understand it and make it my own. "Why are you teaching me this stuff ... I don't understand it ... I don't get it." He looked at me with a smile and said, "If you think you can't do this, then you won't. I'm presenting this to you because if you've never seen it you won't be able to do it." Thanks to Corey, my bridge game has improved exponentially. Because he set high expectations for me, I have not only met them, but I have exceeded them. How I've learned bridge has assisted me in every area of endeavor because now I firmly believe what my bridge coach has instilled in me: that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. So if I believe I can learn it quickly ... I most certainly will and I have. Thanks for a truly informative post, Sam. Vita Reid - The One Minute Minimalist.

When setting expectations for students I've found that the higher I set them, the more they achieve them. I need to remember to set the same expectations for myself.
