(And if you need a reminder)
The way to survival and brand growth
is to think exactly like that.
“Impossible is just a 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.”  ―
