Impossible
不可能
I'll bet Mark Zuckerberg has never used the word impossible in an email. The recipient will lose confidence in you quickly. State why something might be hard or difficult or just don't agree to a course of action. Don't bother telling people it's impossible.
我敢肯定馬克扎克伯格從來沒在郵件中使用過不可能這個詞。收件人會立即對你失去信心。陳述一件事為什么可能會很辛苦或困難,或者只是不同意某種做法。不要浪費時間告訴別人它是不可能的。
That's impossible; it has never been done.
這不可能,這事兒沒人干成過。
It's impossible for me to work with [fill in person, task, or department].
讓我(跟某人或某個部門合作)、(完成某件工作),那不可能!
Impossible combines the defeatism of won't and the status quo of usually to firmly lock the door to new successes. The danger is in the passion you use when you say the word, often with a raised voice and a strong hand gesture. The stronger the feeling that is attached to a word, the surer and sooner it will manifest. As you continue to use impossible in your thoughts and words, you will notice less positive things happening in your life. From not confident, you could drop to outright fearful. Throw out impossible from your vocabulary. Shift to “not possible” and then to “could be possible” and finally to “Yes, it can be done!”
當你奮不顧身地提高了嗓門大喊一聲“Impossible”時,一扇通往成功的大門砰地一聲關上了。Impossible這個詞集悲觀與守舊兩種負能量于一身,時時刻刻幫你繞開各種可能。想改變自己的小伙伴們,不如讓你的話里多些possible,從“not possible”開始,到“could be possible(或許行)”,再到“Yes, it can be done?。ㄊ堑?,這可以做到?。?你將會有不同的感受。
