Day 340 of wisdom 

“I love those who yearn for the impossible.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It was a general believe in the world that it was not possible for someone to run a mile in four minutes. On 6th of May 1954, during a meet between British AAA and Oxford University at Iffley Road Track in Oxford, 25-year-old medical student Roger Bannister cracks this track and field's most notorious barrier by running a mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. Just 46 days later, on 21 June another athlete, John Landy broke this record with a time of 3 minutes 58 seconds. Today over 20000 people has broken the 4-Minute Mile barrier.

The problem you want to solve is the greatest pointer to the possibility of the solution. If you dream so big that people you share your dreams with tell you it is not possible, never believe them. Do not let anybody tell you you can not do something, If people can't do something they want to make you believe it is impossible, they might even be so jealous about your dreams that they would want to talk you out of it, but you have to hold on to it. Possibility starts with the believe in oneself. You have to believe that you can be what you want to be or do that which you want to do without failing. Even if you fail, you have to accept it as a step forward towards your dream and try again.

Failure is the result of a work or process that should not be repeated and it is not final unless you quit. You have to trust yourself that you can create a world you will be happy with, because, our aspirations are our possibilities. As Miguel de Cervantes would say, "in order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd." If you do not try to do what others have not done, you can never do what others have not done.

Theodore Roethke said, "What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible." The best way to get things done, even the seemingly impossible, is to do it anyways, attempt doing what they say cannot not be done, and before you realise you will be doing what they never thought you can do. Believe in yourself, and act on your believe, there is no impossibility to him who will try anything. Life is a risk and without taking risk no tangible progress can be achieved.
