Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.  
The world is full of people who will tell you what you can't do. You don't need them. You already know what you can't do. What you need is someone to tell you what you can.
