A Delicate Balance

To be successful you have to be dumb enough to think you can change the world and smart enough to know how. - Clint Borgen.

“I don’t know. Let’s find out.” These words have begun some great adventures, in travel, in science, in cooking, in many, many areas of life.

“That can’t be done.” These words have aborted a good number of adventures in life, especially when they aren’t true.

“They say it can’t be done, but let’s do it anyway.” These are some of the best words you can have. Think about how many things have been accomplished that were “impossible”. Flight, for example. Heart transplants. Telephones. Too many others to list.

You can change the world in ways that the nay-sayers and the doubters can’t even imagine. You can change the world, your life, yourself, and bring light into some “dark ages” mentalities that insist “don’t confuse me with facts, I know what’s right”. And even if you can’t change the mind of someone who insists that what you’re doing right in front of them is impossible, at least you’re doing the impossible, and you’re making yourself, your life, your world better.

You can do the amazing, the wonderful, the impossible. Don’t let anyone else tell you different.
