With respect to personal achievement, Robin, you should know that the
chances one has of making it to the goal are mostly affected by
preparation and perseverance. While going for it may be a long shot for
those who only try, those who follow Yoda and live by "There is no try,
do or do not." have good chances. 90% of the weeding process in life is
a matter of the individual quitting at one point or another, even if
only mentally at one crucial juncture. WHile it is true that some start
off with worse odds than others, those who never try because of the
supposed "odds" never even show up for the race.
