Читать книгу NLP Workbook: A practical guide to achieving the results you want - Joseph O’Connor - Страница 12

Very often we mistake possibility for competence. We think something is not possible when really we do not know how to do it. We all have physical limits, of course – we are human, not superheroes. But we do not usually know what these limits are. You cannot know what they are until you reach them.

You cannot prove a negative, therefore you can never prove that you are incapable of anything, you can only say that you have not achieved it yet. Once it was considered impossible for any human being to run a mile in less than four minutes – until Roger Bannister did it at Oxford on 6 May 1954. Then a strange thing happened – more and more athletes started running a mile in under four minutes. Today Roger Bannister’s ‘impossible’ achievement is commonplace.

Do not be too quick to decide what is impossible.
