Girls First Ski Jump

The video made me think that you can't accomplish anything if you aren't willing to "jump".  The little girl was obviously very nervous to ski down the jump.  I know this because she kept saying, "You can do this."  I have never skied down a large hill like she did, but I have felt the same way that I inferred she was feeling before, scared to try something new.  For example, when I learned how to swim when I was 23 years old.  Going under water without holding my nose was terrifying.  I felt as proud as the girl did in the video when I finally went under water without holding my nose and without taking in so some much water that I felt like I was going to drown.    I didn't shout out, "I did it!", like she did, but I wanted to.  I think the message is...you can't accomplish anything unless you are willing to JUMP!
