Reflection Exercise 1

Brainstorm on the following quote; explore its possible meaning or cultural significance; what might it imply about how people in our society behave toward one another, what they value, and what assumptions or stereotypes they may hold consciously or unconsciously. What occasions in your life does the quote bring to mind?  Why?  Be specific in your explorations.

"Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done"
