CAN DO

I have published about 20 books so far (excluding four edited volumes) and expect to publish 10 more, bringing my total to roughly 30 books by retirement. Today, I ran the projections, and I know it’s possible. I mention this not to boast, but to instill a "can-do" spirit in myself and to ground my belief in reality. There is a difference between subjective confidence ("I believe I can" or "I can do it") and objective confidence ("The evidence shows it is possible" or "It can happen"). My projection is based on reality, consistent effort, and clear direction. I am committed to making this happen.
