When I was a little girl I thought that four leaf clovers were so rare that I would never find one and I never even tried. One day, my grandparents showed me some that they'd found and preserved in the pages of a thick book. They didn't find just one, but found several, even some with five and six leaves. Here, they showed me that what I thought was so rare, was actually possible. They told me that I could find them too and all I had to do was look. Because they told me I could do it, I started to believe it for myself.
I searched and searched with the perseverance of someone who believes that they're going to be successful. Of course, I found one. I found several. I even found some with five and six leaves. I did what I thought was impossible. Now, every time I see a four leaf clover, I try (some days it's easier than others) to remember that one of life's secrets is that you have to believe that you can do the impossible in order to succeed.
