Confucius said that “He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right”. Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What’s the point of being realistic?
It’s unrealistic to walk in a room and flip a switch and lights come on. That’s unrealistic, fortunately Edison didn’t think so. It’s unrealistic to think that you’re gonna bend a piece of metal and fly people over the ocean in that metal –that’s unrealistic. But fortunately, the Wright brothers and others didn’t believe that and it just seems like such a ridiculous idea to me to embrace the idea that “It’s not gonna happen” or “That’s not real for that to happen” as soon as you say it, now you just made that real.
Will Smith’s Words of Wisdom Final Thoughts
Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic. While the other guy’s sleeping, I’m working, while the other guy’s eating, I’m working.
