"سخت همان چیزی است که فوراً میتواند انجام شود؛ غیرممکن چیزی است که کمی بیشتر زمان میبرد."
Quote meaning
This quote is all about perspective. It's telling us that what we often consider difficult can be tackled right away with the right mindset and effort. On the other hand, what we label as impossible just requires more time, patience, and persistence.
Imagine you’re trying to learn a new skill, like playing the guitar. At first, it feels tough—your fingers hurt, and you can barely string a few notes together. But with consistent practice, you start playing songs. What seemed difficult at first is now something you can do without thinking. Now, consider performing a complex solo or writing your own music. That might seem impossible at first, but with dedication and more time, you inch closer to that goal.
This idea has its roots in historical contexts too. Think of the space race in the 1960s. Sending a human to the moon was once thought impossible. Yet, with intense dedication, collaboration, and innovation, NASA achieved this monumental task in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission. What seemed like a far-off dream became a reality because they treated the impossible as something that just needed a little more time and effort.
Let’s bring this down to a more personal, real-life scenario. Remember when you were a kid learning to ride a bike? Initially, it was difficult. You fell, scraped your knees, and maybe even felt like giving up. But with persistence, you got the hang of it. Riding a bike went from difficult to easy. Then, doing tricks or riding long distances seemed impossible. But some of us took that challenge, spending more time practicing, and eventually, even that became possible.
So how can you apply this wisdom to your life? Start by redefining what's truly difficult and what’s impossible. When faced with a tough task, break it down into smaller, manageable steps. Approach each step one at a time, and don’t let the enormity of the whole task overwhelm you. Give yourself permission to take the time needed for the so-called impossible tasks. Keep pushing, keep trying, and don’t be afraid to fail and learn from those failures.
Imagine you're in your dream job, but you want to launch a side business. It feels overwhelming, right? Start small. Maybe your first step is just developing your business idea or finding that one product you’re passionate about. Spend evenings or weekends chipping away at it. Over time, what seemed like an impossible dream of having a successful business on the side becomes more tangible.
Here’s a story to illustrate the concept. Think of Thomas Edison and the invention of the light bulb. He famously said, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Each failure was just another step toward success. What seemed impossible—creating a long-lasting electric light—became a reality through persistent effort and time.
So, next time you’re up against a daunting goal, remember: The difficult can be tackled right now. The impossible just needs a bit more of your time, patience, and relentless effort. With this mindset, you can turn your big dreams into achievable realities. Keep that in mind, and who knows what you’ll accomplish?
