My grandmother sometimes tells us this story about her own grandfather who, when he was scolding her, would say something like, "I should shoot you to the moon." She always thought, yeah, as if we could ever go to the moon. Thirty years later, humans landed on the moon. I'm sure there is some lesson that you could learn from this, I just don't know what it is.
