Myth in my life

I am a strong believer that if you belief you can do it, it will happen.  I'm not a strong believer in myths per se.  I don't believe that if you walk under a ladder it's bad luck, or break a mirror it's bad luck.  I beleive we make our own luck.  The poems and stories I have read in the recent weeks are all about mythology; however I really don't have the attention span as we read some of these poems and stories, I guess just not my think.  I still need to pass the class so I'm trying and at the same time just going through to motions to finish the classes and obtain my degree
