How do they do that?

The ideas of “possible” and “impossible”

   There are lots of thing are thought to be impossible toady, but maybe realize in the future. This may be accomplished by new technologies and new methods. However, some are possible today but be considered impossible. Why? Is it really impossible to do it? Or it just was made by our bias.

   In my case, I have ever try to lose weight from 82kg to 75kg. This is my target in order to fit the suit for marriage. Before that time I thought it was impossible to lose weight so much in 3 month. I also tried for a period of time but failed still. The past experience turned to a voice to me that it was impossible to achieve the goal. However, as we can see, more and more people lose lots of weight during a period of time even more than 10 or 15kgs. We all know that was possible, but the voice in our mind told us impossible. The barriers was set by ourselves, and that prevented us proceeding. What really stop us is nobody but ourselves. Back to my case, I set a goal in a period of time and that is very important for me without any excuses. This big motivation fueled me with enough power to start to action in many ways to achieve my goals. Ultimately, I really achieved my goal and I also proved myself there are nothing impossible. So if we have any things want to do, we just need to start to action, and do our best to find any ways to achieve our goals. The positive experience will accumulate as time goes by to replace passive attitude. The key here is our mental attitude to view one thing. It is irrelevant to possible or impossible matters.

   Something we really could not do before but now can be done. This is distinct from the discussions above. Even the true impossible things don’t meant we can’t make it possible today. In 1972, Neil Armstrong landed the moon. That was the first time for people to surpass the people’s limitation, and broke the myth of impossibility. If people always think things are impossible, then we would not progress. That’s why future is always full of hope. Because the impossible today may become possible in the future. This is really the belief that we have to always keep in our mind.

   Einstein had proposed a lot of theory when he was lived. Some were thought ridiculous at the time, but to be proved he was right today. To think about it, curiosity is the most important factor for him to activate some much ideas. Of course he had talent and even to be thought as a generous till now. But I think if we want to pull out the most major component of his talent, that would be “curiosity”. So if we think something are impossible to do it, then we can try to call for the curiosity in our mind. Find some evidences to convince us is this really impossible?  Or it just need some times to find some appropriate ways to accomplish it.
