If you have never experienced something all you have is your imagination to rely on . Surfing/waterskiing/skiing/flying a plane/being a parent/being famous. How far apart is imagination from reality?

I can only speak for myself but when Peter let me take the controls in his plane for the first time, it was how I imagined it, not the same of course but pretty close.

All you have to do is take action for what you are imagining for it to become a reality, you would be surprised what you are capable of doing.

    Look what we are doing in outer space as 0ne example.

How nice is that? Thank you for your reply BSurf.

 I would never want to bite off more than I can chew m'dear. Because I would either choke to death or have to spit it out and neither one is something that appeals to me. I know my strengths and weaknesses pretty well by now.   I pay attention to my successes and failures and  try to learn from them.  If I had my d'ruthers I'd be a quantum physicist. I find the field endlessly fascinating. But I'm not smart enough. I don't have the right stuff. I know that. But I can admire and absorb and learn what I can about it based on my abilities. It is said that what man can conceive, man can achieve. That is a very good thing to know. If true. Thank you for your thoughtful answer TT!  :)
