What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires – desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.

The origin of myths is explained in this way. Bertrand Russell

- Stay a little foolish. Indeed, believing requires you to keep moving forward, even when it seems useless. Like Steve Jobs said, “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
- Your beliefs create your reality. The more you can imagine, dream, and act, the more you change your world.
- Learn about yourself. Self-knowledge leads to self-belief (and self-confidence).
