Great people, did great things, when ever pessimistic said it was impossible, the only thing going through the great achievers mind was, " the impossible is possible." According to Napoleon Bonaparte, " Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools." This was something that when Napoleon said it, he was proud of it. The impossible is possible, but only when one believes they can do it, then they will succeed.
As a sixth greater, I do get they feeling that what I want to achieve is so far away, and that I will never get there. This feeling is the feeling of impossibility. When I was in third grade, we had to learn the multiplication table up to the number twelve. It took me up to two weeks to get all of them right. In between those two hard weeks, I felt like i was never going to get them, I would always get so close, or it would be totally wrong. I told my dad that i just cant do this, it was too hard. I told him that a nine year old cant do this, its impossible. But my dad told me that all you have to do is work hard and practice, and in the future, you will succeed. So of course, i practiced and practiced and worked hard, but nothing came. So i asked my dad when will i succeed, and he said i will. Then after that i be came really mad and determined to get the facts right. Now, i can get all the multiplication skills off the top of my head. I knew that when i was nine years old, i was a fool. And now, the impossible, is possible.
In a time of slavery, the slaves all sang a song and tried to get to the north in any way they can. They never gave up, even though their masters told them that it was impossible, the slaves knew that their masters were fools. During the civil rights, Martin Luther King Jr made one of the greatest speech in the world. He once said " I have a dream" A dream that he never gave up on. He is one of the reasons why this country is great to all different kinds of races. He didn't give up even when he didn't succeed. He failed allot of times, but it came down to his dream coming true. He was not a fool even when people said he was of trying. This man is a great example of this quote.
If you never make mistakes, you are not really trying. If you don't make a mistake, you are not really human. Great people made a lot of mistakes. Edisonn once said " I never failed 1,000 times, i found 1,000 ways not to do it. Even when he failed, the thought of impossibility never came to him. One day, you will have to face a time when you think that your dream will never come, that it will be impossible, but all you have to do is keep on trying, and in the end, the out come will always be the greatest one.
