There is a looming chasm between what your brain knows and what your mind is capable of accessing.

No, listen carefully, I think I hear somethingyes, there it was quite clear. Dont you hear it?

Would it be possible for you to shoot better than him? YES, if he were blindfolded! How can you hit a target you can't see? Even worse, how can you hit a target you don't even have!? You need to have GOALS in your life!
