It was year 2004, easily the worst year faced till date of my life. I had been heartbroken, near depressed and after months of frustration of not finding a job in tanking economy, I was ready to give up and return back home. Then one day when I was in New York city for some particular reason (I cant remember what), I saw this huge poster near Madison Square Garden. It was a picture of Muhammad Ali in his customary pose and below that were the words that I will never forget---
"Impossible is just 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!"
It was a dare indeed and struggling to find a job was no longer Impossible. Because it was nothing. It renewed my optimism (I am a born optimist, but I think after 11months of struggle, any1 is capable of being frustrated), it gave me to hold on and fight for just that longer, face the storm and move on.
Yes it was temporary and ultimately nothing and here I am sitting with a job by His Grace and talking about it!!!!!
