[QUOTE="Andy, post: 245291, member: 5096"] I would tend to agree with how you see the question. As klmno stated, look at what is rational. Some questions are hard and should have just a bit more clarification. I read this one as, "Thinks he can do anything that HE wants to do without taking the steps necessary to accomplish it." Your examples of being the greatest guitar player without learning how is a good example. There is a difference between [B][I]dreaming[/I][/B] of one day being the greatest or wanting to be the greatest and actually [B][I]believing[/I] [/B]that you are the greatest. Many kids dream of being the best. They think of what it would be like [B][I]if[/I][/B] they were the best. They know it is a dream, a wish. They know that they have to work at it to make it come true. They accept the fact that others probably do not see them as the best for that specific thing but someday they will shine. What your son is doing in believing his dreams is to try to make them a reality. It may be that many kids do this on occasion but when it is an every day event with everything he does, than the answer to that question would be "yes". [/QUOTE]
