“Only those who attempt the absurd…will achieve the impossible.” – M.C. Escher
I came across this quote on my twitter feed & like every other quote, I yelled “wow” in my head & carried on. But there was something different about this!
I was able to relate to it very closely. But why?
Quenching on my thirst, I created a timeline of my life in my head – from my childhood till today. Compared it with those of my friends. I found a peculiarity – “utter absurdness”.
I mean seriously – who on earth would not enjoy his childhood for making bills in dad’s restaurant or not enjoy this teenage for designing websites (entrepreneurial stint) ! ME.
I have been absurd all through! Even today, my psyche simply stops me to do everything everyone else is doing.
All this obviously does not mean that I have a achieved the impossible, but yes it definitely assures that I’m on the right track – achieve the impossible.
