If you think it, it's real. So says Henry Ford. And Wired Magazine. And Rigoni.

Henry Ford once said "whether you think you can or whether you think you can't you're right."

According to this Wired article on a recent study, he may be right:

But really, isn't it kind of obvious? When I think I can do stuff, I amaze myself with what I'm capable of. When I've decided I can't, or it won't work, or I'm too old, or a woman, or my back hurts, or whatever, I'm capable of accomplishing much less than when I don't realize I'm doing something I shouldn't be able to do.
