Conviction is the most critical ingredient for turning ideas into reality. The
greatest breakthroughs occur not by simply assembling intelligent individuals
but by cultivating strong, unwavering conviction.
I believe that a person with conviction can achieve almost anything
physically
possible. However, the issue arises when we hold too
firmly to beliefs about
what is possible versus impossible,
considering we only know relatively little
about
the true laws of physics and nature of reality, thereby narrowing the
scope of our
potential achievements.
Over time, those with a broader sense of what might be possible are
the ones
who ultimately accomplish extraordinary deeds. This
explains why smart
people often fail to achieve significant
breakthroughs, especially when they lack
openness toward
possibilities.
Believing that "something is impossible" can be detrimental. This
stems from a
fundamental truth about how the world functions:
genuine value and significant
achievements arise from steadfastly
believing in something that others dismiss
as impossible.
Rejecting new ideas outright might make you correct most of the time,
given
that genuinely valuable outcomes are rare. However,
consistently denying
possibilities earns no meaningful progress,
even when you're right.
