Heisig story:

Remember the story about the "Little Engine that Could" when you hear this key word, and the rest is simple. See the determined little locomotive huffing and puffing up the mountain - "I think I can, I think I can...." - spitting railroad spikes out of its mouth as it chews up the line to the top.
