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!

Subject: [Nfbmo] What is  Impossible?

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
