When people say, "It's like finding a needle in a haystack." It usually means that a task is daunting at best. But that is just one way to look at it. Let's take a closer look at that statement. Why is it so hard? Well you have one thing that looks like the others and that thing is very small while the stack is large. OK, that sounds like a very hard task. But it doesn't have to be. If one were to hold a high powered magnet over the haystack; the needle would immediately leave the haystack and jump to the magnet. There you have it. You just found the needle in the haystack within seconds. Doesn't sound so hard now does it?
There is no task that a rational person cannot overcome.
If you let the task intimidate you, then you have already failed it.
