IMPOSSIBLE QUOTES:

AND THERE IS MORE…"The Americans have need of the

telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys." -- Sir William Preece, chief engineer of the British Post Office, 1876.

The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?" -- David Sarnoff's associates in response to his urgings for investment in the radio in the 1920s.

AND EVEN MORE…"While theoretically and technically

television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility." -- Lee DeForest, inventor.

impossible. X-rays will prove to be a hoax." -- William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, British scientist, 1899.

"It will be years -- not in my time -- before a woman will become Prime Minister." -- Margaret Thatcher, 1974.

"There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will." -- Albert Einstein, 1932.

"The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives." -- Admiral William Leahy, U.S. Atomic Bomb Project.

"There will never be a bigger plane built." -- A Boeing engineer, after the first flight of the 247, a twin engine plane that holds ten people.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE ITS NOT HARD TO BE NEGATIVE ITS NOT HARD TO NOT SEE

POSSIBILITY'S

Page 10: Expanding the company

THINGS I HEAR…• I have a problem, here is an

answer, that gives me another problem, here is the answer to that, that gives me even another problem.

• Hang on do you want an answer or do you just want problems

• or do you want a reason not to do.

Page 11: Expanding the company

THINGS I WANT TO SAY…• Vision – without it we perish • Engage your brain before engaging you mouth – I agree

that sometime things seem impossible, but there are those people around who I call ‘bucket of cold water people’ every good Idea or idea for expansion they have a big bucket of negative cold water on hand to throw over it.

• My Grandmother said… Those who never made a mistake never made anything!

• Pauline has a nice theory called the Gibeonite theory you can find it in Joshua 9

• And further I would like to say “Problems are really possibility stones on which to stand to get us up higher”

WHAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER –

 

Page 13: Expanding the company

ORDINARY OR EXTRA ORDINARY

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

George *Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.

HOW NOT TO BE NEGATIVE…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7RTNAl02HM

Page 16: Expanding the company

ONE PARTICULAR GUY NEVER COULD SEE THE PROBLEMS..“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again,

this time more intelligently..”Henry Ford 

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”Henry Ford 

“I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.”Henry Ford 

Page 17: Expanding the company

AND FINALLY HE SAID…• I refuse to recognize the existence of

impossibilities. I don’t know anyone who knows enough about any subject to be able to say that something is or is not impossible. If someone who takes himself for an expert and declares that such and such a thing is impossible, right away there’s a horde of nincompoops who sing the chorus: ‘It’s impossible…’ Henry Ford 

Page 18: Expanding the company

YOU CAN…

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”William Arthur Ward Listed in the American ‘who who’

Page 19: Expanding the company

TO CONCLUDE …

Page 20: Expanding the company

WHAT WE NEED TOGETHER IS…

• The Goal• The Plan• The Idea• The Impossibility • The Better....

Page 21: Expanding the company

SO WHAT TO I WANT US TO LEARN FROM THIS TRAINING?• To learn to speak positively• To see problems as

possibilities• To believe that things are

possible• To work together to see

growth• To remember that we want to

be GOOD but that the worst enemy of better is very good.

AND SO WE SHOULD BE…
