...if one were doing push-ups, one does not immediately start with 100 push-ups, and then when one fails, make the pronouncement that doing push-ups is too difficult for nonpush-up people. If one wants to succeed, one starts with 5, 10, or 20 push-ups and works up from there. One usually isn't discouraged if one can't start with 100 push-ups...
