No, no different, only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.
--Master Yoda
In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Master Yoda responds with these words when Luke Skywalker cries, "Now we'll never get it out. Moving stones is one thing, but this is totally different," referring to his downed fighter jet that had sunk deeper into the swamp.
Yoda's words teaches us an important lesson, that everything is truly all in the mind. What you believe you can do, what you believe you cannot do is not a consequence of birth, destiny, genetics, social standing or even your zodiac sign!
Instead, it simply comes down to the mental perspective you have of yourself. If you think you're a eagle, then you'll soar like an eagle; if you think you're a chicken, then don't be surprised if your greatest accomplishment is ending up on McDonald's value menu.
Most people go through life having a fixed mental image of themselves, believing that their capabilities are predestined as oppose to self willed. But if the countless self-made million and billionaires, such as Oprah Winfrey or JK Rowling have taught us anything, it is that, whatever your mind can believe AND set itself to do, is what you are destined to be.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that, you must unlearn the limitations of what you have learned.
