A quotation from Charles Kettering

[T]he more education a man has, the less likely he is to invent new things. Possibly this is because from the moment the boy or girl starts in school he or she is examined three or four times a year and a failure or two and he or she is out. Now because an inventor works differently, he thinks that’s all wrong. He knows he’ll never go far on any problem before he strikes snags. He may flunk 999 times but if on his 1,000th try he succeeds, he wins! The only time you don’t want to fail is the last time you try a thing.

Charles F. Kettering (1876-1958) American inventor, engineer, researcher, businessman

Yes, you can. Achieving your goal is #definitely #possible.

First, you #imagine. Then make a #blueprint.

Next, break everything down into small bits and pieces.

Then start building, beginning with the smallest thing you can handle. Then, the next. Then, the next thing after that...

That's how the #impossible gets done. Step by step.
