    GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL,

    I heard this phase said by xxx daiel boy(spelt wrong) a well known pianist. He went to isral and united all musicians around the neibour countries(muselums)and played a big concert together.

    He said "impossible is easier than the difficult"....COULD someone explain whats that mean?????

    Self knows that if self thinks of something as impossible, self invariably manages to do it. If self envisions task as difficult, self is always frustrated. It has something to do with the brain's "central governor". The notion of doing the impossible is intensely motivating. The word "difficult" implies drudgery.

    Or at least that's what self thinks.

    If it is impossible I always want to do it. When it is difficult you know it but it isn't impossible so you have less drive to do it!

    Hehe... that is a good one. Sums up human nature well.

    Also remember what mountain climbers say when asked why they want to climb the Mt. Everest : "Because it's there !" :wink:
