Here would be a good place to post up one of my favorites, but before I do, here are some things that we were able to do that others thought impossible:

1. You'll never get her to go out with you! But I did, and tomorrow we will have been married 45 years.

2. No one has ever won there; what makes you think you can? We went undefeated in the second year.

3. You can't afford that house. We bought it.

4. You'll never make it; we did. And so can you.

So here is one of my favorites:

It Couldn't be Done!
Edgar Allen Guest

Somebody said that It couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
It may be that it couldn't,
But he would be one Who wouldn't
Say so till he tried.

So he buckled right in
With a trace of a grin
On his face
If he worried
He hid it.
He started to sing
As he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done
And HE DID IT!

Somebody scoffed,
Nah . . you'll never do that.
Hurmp. . . at least no one
Has ever done it.

But he took off his coat
And the first thing we knew
He'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin
And a bit of a grin
Without any doubting
Or quit it.
He started to sing
As he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done
And HE DID IT!

There are thousands to Tell you
It cannot be done.
There are thousands to
Prophecy failure.
There are thousands
To point out One by one
The dangers that wait
To assail you.

But just buckle right in
With a bit of a grin.
Just take off your coat
And go to it.
Just start to sing
As you tackle the thing
That can't be done
And YOU'LL DO IT!

So, what things have you tackled and done that "They Said" couldn't be done?
