History abounds with tales of experts who were convinced that the ideas, plans and projects of others could never be achieved. However, achievement came to those who believed,“I can make it happen.”
The Italian sculptor Agostino D'Antonio worked diligently on a large piece of marble. Unable to produce his desired masterpiece, he lamented,“I can do nothing with it.”Other sculptors also worked this diffcult piece of marble, but to no avail. Michelangelo discovered the stone and visualized the possibilities in it. His“I-can-make-it-happen”attitude resulted in one of the world's masterpieces—David.
Even the great Thomas Edison discouraged his friend, Henry Ford, from pursuing his fledgling idea of a motorcar. Convinced of the worthlessness of the idea, Edison invited Ford to come and work for him. Ford remained committed and tirelessly pursuedhis dream. Although his frst attempt resulted in a vehicle without reverse gear, Henry Ford knew he could make it happen. And, of course, he did.
Let's not forget our friends Orville and Wilbur Wright. Journalists, friends, armed forces specialists, and even their father laughed at the idea of an airplane.“What a silly and insane way to spend money. Leave flying to the birds.”they jeered.“Sorry,”the Wright brothers responded.“We have a dream, and we can make it happen.”
You too can make it happen.
在历史上，认为别人的想法、计划或方案根本无法实现的专家们的例子比比皆是，而成功却青睐那些相信“我能做到”的人。
意大利雕刻家阿戈斯蒂诺·丹东尼奥在一块巨大的大理石上花费了很多心思，但他没有雕刻出理想的作品，于是他感慨道：“我用它雕不出任何东西。”另外一些雕刻家也在这块巨石上费了一番工夫，仍然没有收获。米开朗琪罗发现了这块巨石，并看到了这块巨石的所有可能性。他用“我能做到”的态度，创作了闻名世界的《大卫》。
