Read this passage.
first of all, if someone says your dream is
impossible, they're wrong. you can't prove that
something is impossible—all you know is that
[it] hasn't been done yet. people said no one
could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir
edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed
down upon the world from its summit. people
said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville
and wilbur wright made the first sustained
powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine.
people said, "okay, we admit that someone
could climb mount everest, and we admit that
man has learned to fly, but no one will ever,
ever walk on the face of the moon." if we can
send three men a quarter of a million miles
away and bring them home safely, is there any
great task we cannot accomplish?
