He knows the odds are stacked against him.

He's going for it anyway. Maybe he enjoys the experience of pursuing apparently unreachable goals. Maybe his desire to succeed is so intense that the odds don't matter. Maybe he knows himself well enough that he won't respect himself fully if he quits before a goal is proven to be truly impossible. Maybe he senses an obligation to find the best expression of his abilities. Maybe he just thinks it would be a blast to try.

Whatever his motivation, it matters more to him than his fear of public failure or the likelihood that millions of people with a fraction of his talent and character will mock him if he fails.

I respect that.
