[Nfbmo] What is Impossible?

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

A pet peeve is how media spins stories for only the positive side then
shoves it down your throat for days.
It wasn't impossible to dodge the draft either!

That's a good quote. I always found him inspiring.

Yesterday my nephew graduated from high school. Many speeches were given by 
various individuals including students, but the one that stuck in my mind 
was given by the class sponsor. I do not know when she wrote the speech, but

it was timely since she quoted the late great boxer and civil rights icon 
Muhammad Ali who said:

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier

to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have 
to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a

declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. 
Impossible is nothing."

Whether we are advocating for ourselves or on behalf of someone else we will

invariably be confronted with  the sentiment that is impossible for blind 
people to do this, or that or the other thing. When this happens, we should 
take a step back and reflect on the above quote. Through the efforts of the 
NFB, the list of things that are impossible for blind people to do is 
growing shorter and shorter by the day. So Muhammad Ali was correct in 
saying that "Impossible is temporary."

Best Regards

Daniel Garcia
