I have been told about the odds of making it and not making it so many times it becomes a joke. Some of the odds of making it success stories: Look kid, sorry. I know talent when I see it. You are a decent basketball playerâbut that was grammer school. This is High School. You just canât compete at this high level. I am cutting you before your dreams get shattered. âMichael Jordanâs high school coach before he cut him from the team. Blah blah about the same quote as above. Scottie Pippenâs high school coach before he cut him from the team. You are over 65 years old. You want to start a career in the restaurant business? Donât waste your social security checks.âColonel Sanders friends. âYou want to get an aircraft instrument rating in a month. HA. It took John Glenn 6 weeks to get his instrument rating. You are not John Glenn. Spend the necessary year and become a safe pilot. Alex Wasilewskiâs friends and previous flight instructor. âCongratulations. You have tied the American Aviation record for the shortest time to achieve an FAA instrument rating.â FAA flight test supervisor to Alex Wasilewski. Quoted six DAYS after the previous quote. âWhat an idiot. Doesnât he know that the leading medical and physiological experts have conclusively determined that the human body is incapable of running a mile in under 4 minutes.â- the leading experts to Roger Bannister about a year before he became the first human to break the 4 minute mile barrier. Now this âimpossibilityâ is routinely broken by very good high school athletes. The list goes on and on. Donât let anyone tell you that your not good enough! Alex
You always have a chance to become the best, the main thing is to be able to use it and to want it. We can succeed in different areas, you just need to be purposeful and go for your dream
