‘Nothing is impossible’is a general saying, often said to motivate a person, when he or she is low spirits, dejected, lacking in confidence.
The actual meaning the sentence conveys,is one can achieve anything in this world and a person should not give up anything for the simple reason that he or she is having his or her own constraints, limitations,lacking in resources,support etc etc.
But when we consider the sentence ‘Nothing is impossible’ it has got its own limitations.The sentence is a little bit exaggerated and it is said just to encourage a person who is sagging in spirits.But it is not said or directed against a person taking all his resources into account.
After all a man has got his own limitations, even if he is super human.While using the above sentence or motivating a person with the above sentence, one should take into account the task or mission that lies before him, consider his or her past records or achievements,his or her resources into account.His age, his education, his requisite qualifications, etc should also be taken into account.
Can we encourage a poor person, or entrust a monumental task to him that is quite impossible for him to finish and still say at him nothing is impossible ?
Of course, we can entrust an engineering project to an engineer who is well versed and having previous experience in doing such projects and say go and finish this project and nothing is impossible.
We can entrust a qualified lawyer a brief about which he is quite acquinted with.Similarly we can call upon a surgeon who is a specialist in surgery, to undertake a difficult surgery, saying nothing is impossible.However, it should also be noted that even a doctor who is not otherwise a specialist in a particular field can not be called upon to do what is not known to him.
Similarly we can entrust a difficult building project to an architect and encourage him to finish it off quickly saying nothing is impossible.Likewise we can encourage a student who is struggling in his studies, saying ‘nothing is impossible’.
Therefore, one can not use the sentence ‘nothing is impossible’indiscriminately towards all.Can we ask a person to fly, still encourage him saying ‘nothing is impossible.’
Therefore, the sentence,’nothing is impossible’ should be used sparingly,taking into account all aspects into consideration and should not used indicriminately in all its wilderness.The reality that lies before a person should be taken into account and it is the watch word before we embark upon to say ‘nothing is impossible’
