Sports Psychology Tips:
- Do not let people or events in your life stop you!
- Do not let your little voice stop you from flying!
According to the laws
of aerodynamics,
the bumblebee is
unable to fly.
This is because
the size, weight, and
shape of its body
in relation to the
total wing-span
makes flying impossible.
The bumblebee,
being ignorant of
these laws,
goes ahead and flies anyway!
