attempt the impossible

By Edgar A. Guest

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn't,” but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it”;
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.

"This became a credo of mine...attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

"Bette Davis

Model Your Way to the Top – Turn your Passion into profits

When you model someone is who is playing a bigger game than you, you expand your world and look through new eyes. By reading about others who have achieved the kind of success that you seek, you’re likely to find yourself there. At the very least, Chris Howard says, you will find yourself in a whole new playing field. What you chose to do when you get there is up to you.

My advice? Get a role model. Get many. Think bigger. Think broader.

And start turning your passion into profits, right now.
