Re: mightythor and Andy LiBoth of your centomms are basically saying, well, I've seen a case where this doesn't work, so why try it? The objective evidence about authentic self confidence and successfully accomplishing any endeavor are all around you. Just do a Google search if you don't believe it. It is a very basic principle, that applies in realms well beyond grant writing.As for fairy tales vs facts, I could go on about the fallacy of your facts , but I'll be brief. What, exactly, are the facts ?For thousands of years there was the fact that man can't fly. Ooops. The Wright bros. proved that fact wrong.How did they do that? Using their imagination, and their own confidence/motivation that they could accomplish flight. Oh, that's just an extreme example I hear your mind screaming. Aha. Where does your light come from?Edison tried over 1,000 versions of a lightbulb before one worked. He had confidence that he could do it, despite the facts that it was impossible .EVERY great accomplishment has a similar story.While getting a grant may not rise to the level of the above examples, it is a major accomplishment even for those of us who accomplish it regularly.You can go ahead and wallow in your facts that getting grants is impossible and it will be for you.I'm just saying.
