Hi @giantbear, entertaining reading that you share with us, reminds me of the story of the snowball, the snowball starts at the top of the mountain as something tiny and without strength, but as it begins to roll its size grows and drags everything in its path in an avalanche.
That's how we humans are, we have so much potential, but the fear of taking the first step prevents us from growing personally and professionally.
Thank you for your contribution. Greetings
