Can, is one heck of a powerful word. I can do this; I can achieve that. It’s robust, not wish-washy. There is no maybe about it.
But, there is that other powerful word, but. You should be careful with can. Can and but set up a duo that questions your ability. With a little question mark. ? See?
They don’t go well together. One is a powerful affirmative, and the other opens the door to questions. Maybe you can, perhaps you can’t.
On the other hand, it is true that you’ll never know if you don’t try. So, no, but’s about it. Get going and do it.
Well, that was easy.
