Bernard Baruch was quoted as saying:
A man sentenced to death obtained a reprieve by assuring the king he would teach his majesty’s horse to fly within the year, on the condition that if he didn’t succeed he would be put to death at the end of the year.
“Within a year, the man explained later, “the king may die, or I may die, or the horse may die. Furthermore, in a year, who knows? Maybe the horse will learn to fly.”
My philosophy is like that man’s. I take the long range view.”
Take you time. Any thing is possible. Do not give up.
