I am Possible



I am going to visit past – some hundred years back. Would you like to accompany me?
1800: A world so simple by today’s standard. A middle class guy thinks of landing on moon and that is only possible in his dreams – it is impossible to cover a journey to moon. Another girl wishes to talk to his sister, married to a man in different village, she should either visit her or write a letter and show a little patience – instant talking is impossible. A son has to send money to his ailing mother and the things are left to the mercy of post office – instant money transfer is impossible. A farmer awaits the rainfall to irrigate his land – it is impossible to irrigate otherwise.
I think that this is the world of impossibilities – spaceships, phones, internet, money transfers, banking, modern farming, nuclear energy, www – everything seems impossible.
Well friend, we can have a good laugh here as we have the knowledge that whatever these beings, living in 1800, believe to be impossible is indeed possible for their future generations. Whoever had first used the word – IMPOSSIBLE – must have been amused to discover the possibilities attached it. Anything under the sun is possible – the necessary condition is to work in right direction – to believe in its possibilities and no power can stop the utmost power of our own mind.
We would have still been living in a world similar to that of 1800 but thanks to the great inventors like Charles Babbage, Tim Berners-Lee and many more, who believed in the possibilities. Belief in possibilities is the first and very important step towards the creation and inventions that turn impossibilities into possibilities. Some ultra sensible beings would call it madness but in a way we all are mad and it definitely requires a great degree of madness to tread in the dark with only a faith in our capabilities. All the great men had been seriously insane in past, are insane at present and will be insane in future. After all, you have to first lose your sanity to make the world lose its inertia. I do not much about being great but I am not ashamed to admit that I am an insane myself...

“It is always impossible unless it is done” If we spend your whole life clinging to impossibility and going by the sanity of this world – we would never have a better future. For betterment, we have to baptize IMPOSSIBLE into I AM POSSIBLE and the wonders will happen...
