What we can or cannot do,
what we consider possible or impossible
is rarely a function of our true capability.
It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.
Anthony Robbins.
Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done.
God may have been waiting centuries for someone
ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.
G M Trevelyan.
Nothing is impossible if you throw enough money at it. Or slave labour. Look at the pyramids or the space program. Both built on slave labour. What? Well isn't tax a form of slavery. You are not given a choice where your tax dollar goes. Some of you are working to pay my pension and if you are young enough you won't get one till 75 or like me you become disabled and get to live off others. Actually if the economy continues to go the way it does you won't get a pension at all. Living may become impossible. So what are you going to do about it. A lot more things are going to become impossible in the future. But there will be toys, just no one to use them. Sounds science fiction. Beware science fiction has been coming true. I think I'll go drive my tractor while there is still fuel. No fuel, impossible, what about the propane shortage this winter in parts of Ontario. Some people got awfully cold.
I have potatoes and fire wood why should I care. But I do.
Every revolutionary idea seems
to evoke three stages of reaction.
They may be summed up by the
phrases:
1- It’s completely impossible
2- It’s possible, but it’s not worth doing
3- I said it was a good idea all along
AC Clarke
