Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn’t
Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it goes on flying anyway.
~~ Mary Kay Ash ~~ (1915 - 2001)
It is not known how the myth that aerodynamically bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly became popular, but there is a perfectly good scientific explanation as to how bumblebees fly. So this quote is not strictly factual. Nonetheless, I think it is still a good quote as it emphasizes that we should not limit ourselves by underestimating our capabilities. In other words, we should get out of our comfort zone and try things we think can’t be done. We are all capable of doing more than what we actually do.
