When naysayers say: “it is not possible”

Sometimes it is hard to start a new project or some new endeavor in an existing project, especially when people around you say it is impossible or will not work out. Or they say, "go and at last get your 9-5 as normal people do"! Sometimes such people are very close, like relatives or spouses... So here is a small story for you to remember when you face such a situation.

Two brothers were playing in the forest… … one of them was more petite, six years old, and the other bigger brother was ten years old. They were so fascinated by the game … that did not notice a well near the bush… …and the bigger brother falls into that deep well. Very worried about his older brother, the minor brother … started to cry for help, but no one was around!

The minor brother thought about how he could help and found a rope with a bucket near the well… Without hesitation, he took that rope and the bucket …and threw into the well to pull his brother out. The older brother took the rope and just in 5 minutes, putting all his power …a minor brother pulled his biger brother from the well!

They were so happy! And they ran very fast into the village to tell people how lucky they were and what happened to them! To their surprise, no one believed their story!!! Why? Because people asked: "How it can be that a small tiny child can pull almost twice as bigger and heavier child out of the well?"

Boys went from person to person, and everyone said the same, and no one could believe them … … But those people in the village were very interested in how can that be… So they decided to visit the wisest person in the village and ask him that question. When the wise man listened to the story of two brothers, he smiled and said nothing … Then one of the people asked him: "How can a small tiny child pull almost twice heavier and heavier child out of the well?"

The wise man smiled again and said: "It is possible that the minor child could pull bigger from the well. The reason for this is simple: There were no people around telling him it was not possible!"

We are capable of a lot of more things when change … IMPOSSIBLE into the I'M POSSIBLE game and not listen …to naysayers putting their limitations on you. Confidence is crucial for a project startup's success, no matter what others say or how hard it can look!
