We can do impossible things

It's all too easy to lose sight of ambition when we're busy playing whack-a-mole with the world's problems. I'd wager everyone has a rehearsed response to what's absolutely one of the world's worst interview questions: "What's your biggest weakness?" Whenever I've gotten it, I take a slow--even pensive--breath and rattle off my line: "I say no to myself too much." I'm a systems thinker: When an idea pops up, I immediately spin up a feasibility assessment in my head. I run lists, plot timelines, and tally budget line items. Sometimes a rough Gantt chart starts to take shape.
