“A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.”
-Charles Schwab
I had read this in the newspaper maybe about 5, 6 years ago… I must have forgotten the quote, but the idea stuck in my head. Just came across this again today. A sophisticated way of saying, “Impossible is nothing”.
“Knowledge is power.”
-Sir Francis Bacon, 1597
English author, courtier, & philosopher
It’s been quoted to death for centuries, but this sentence keeps taking on a deeper and more relevant meaning as we move towards a society where data flow is boundless, information availability is seamless, and corporations slowly become more powerful than governments because of the knowledge they possess.
“Dreams Drive Deeds”
Corollary: If you can’t find the time for something, then it probably isn’t that important.
The Bangalore Version: “If you have time to spend your money, then you aren’t earning enough.”
I’ve always argued that life is all about unlimited tasks (or possibilities, if you prefer) and limited time. You can either do a lot of things (and still have some left over), or you can do a few things and do them well. As Gandalf the Grey says in The Lord of the Rings, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides good and evil”.
In the end, all that matters is what you did with your time. Success is always projected. “Misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes”. That was Gabriel Shear in Swordfish.
“In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments, only consequences.”
-R. C. Ingersoll
“The world is round, and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.”
– Ivy Baker Priest
“IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING”

I believe that given enough resources, nothing is impossible. After all, man walked on the Moon, didn’t he? And yes, desire and motivation are resources.
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
-John Lennon
“The last step is the most difficult, and the most rewarding.”
