If the affairs of this world were left in the hands of those who say “that’s the way it has always been done” on reply to the question “can we do it this way”, then we would still be in the Stone Age.
Without change there can’t be progress. But change is only possible when we crack “CHAlleNGE”. Always challenge mediocrity.
Man once believed that since steel can’t float on water then it is impossible for ships to sail on water.
A clergyman once told a college head that flying planes were impossible. Few years after, the clergyman's two boys – Orville and Wilbur Wright did it.
It was believed at one point in time that if rails ever moved at 25 miles/hour then people will die because circulation of blood will cease.
Having tried for centuries without success using various means like drinking Lion’s blood and Tiger’s milk the conclusion was reached that man can never run a mile in less than four minutes. It was held like a principle until Roger Bannister broke it.
Scientists once said that it is impossible to connect America and England by telephone, having tried endlessly without success using cables. Today, you can connect to any part of the world from a village not located on the world map.
As Napoleon Bonaparte rightfully said, impossible is a word only found in the dictionaries of fools.
You were born an optimist but the world tries conforming you to “reality”. Do not accept it as it is only a way of caging you in mediocrity.
If you don’t change you will soon find yourself out of value. Imagine where IBM Computers will be if it didn’t change its world sale target from 6 computers a year! Or if Henry Ford never changed its initial car design which had no reverse gear.
