"Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway."

"Don't Give Up"
Robert Bruce, fourteenth century hero of the Scottish Highlands, has a story recorded by tradition. Bruce experienced battle defeat, discouragement, exhaustion, and was ready to give up and abandon all hope.
While resting in his hiding place shelter, probably a cave, he observed a spider's exertions in trying to make a web. The spider endeavoured to swing himself from one beam to another above his head. Six times there was failure and the web broke. The seventh time there was success and it held.
This observation clicked a bell in his meditating mind and converted to the courage to persevere and try again.
With one more try, this time he won the Battle Bannockburn and became a Scottish hero.
