NOT KNOWING

"Homework. It's impossible for you to solve, but experiment with it,"
instructed a math teacher as she wrote on the board an equation
for her fourth grade class. John, one of her students, missed what
the teacher had said but saw he equation on the board, wrote it
down, and took it home.

While at home, John noticed that he had never learned how to
solve this kind of equations. So he went to the library, read
some math's books, and solved the equation. The next day,
he showed the solved equation to the teacher to which she
replied "Impossible." - Told by Dr. Robert Gilbert.

"Everything is possible as long as you don't know that it's impossible."
- Andres Lara.

"The impossible is often the untried." - John Goodwin.

"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." - John Wooden.

"Give me a fish and I'll eat for a day. Teach me how to fish and I'll eat
for a lifetime. - Ancient Proverb.
