So often we forget that the impossible is only impossible in our thoughts. With effort and determanation we just may learn how mistaken we were in our thoughts. Forcing oneself to do that which one deems impossible is growth of oneself. If one learns that the "mission" is impossible simply reflect on Einstein when after many tries he still had not succeeded with his baattery-he told a critic----"Well I kow 100 ways a battery will not work---what do you know"
