Considering some of the discussion today I thought I’d share a little story .It may offend but that isn’t my intention- so apologies in advance.

Back in the 1950s/1960s in Scandinavia from memory but may have been Switzerland a bunch of scientists were conducting an experiments on rats.

They took a rat and put it in a pool with no way out and timed how long it could swim for before it gave up. For the sake of example lets say it was 40 mins before the rat gave up and died.

Next they took another rat of comparable genetics and also placed it in the pool. This time they waited until it was just about to give up around the 40 min mark but instead of letting it drown they put a small plank into the water so the rat could climb out of the water to safety.

After suitable recuperation they took the same rat and placed it back in pool and let it swim. This time, instead of giving up and drowning at the 40 min mark it kept swimming beyond the 50 min, 60, and 70 minute mark. In fact it swam for over 100 mins before giving up and drowning.

That is the power of hope. As DT no matter how much we research on FA and TA we live with a certain amount of hope about the future.
