If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream true? ...... Oscar Hammerstein
Dare to think unthinkable thoughtd. Develop an infinite capacity to ignore what others think can't be done. Life is too short to think small. Ronald McNair says, "You only become winner if you are willing to walk over the edge." Take the lid off, go out on a limb, that's where the fruit is!
Most people could do more than they think they can, but they usually do less than they think they can. You never know what you cannot do until you try. I agree with Oscar Wilde when he said, "moderation is a fatal thing, nothing succeed like excess. "if you want to see if you can swim, don't frustrate yourself with shallow water.
Dr. JA. Holmes said, "never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting for centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing. You will find that great leaders are rarely realistic by other people's standards.

"A leader must face danger, he must take the risk, the blame and face the brunt of the storm"...... Herbert Casson
Dorthea Brand stated, "all that is necessary to break the spell of initial frustration is this: act as if it were impossible to fail." An over cautious person burns bridges of opportunity before he gets to them.
Most of the people who sit around and wait for the harvest haven't planted anything. The average person doesn't want much and usually gets even less.
Until you give yourself to some great cause, you haven't really begun fully live. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing...
