Why let assumptions hold you back?
‘Impossible’.
Anyone who wants to try something unpredictable is likely to hear this sooner or later.
Many ambitions and change projects are abandoned prematurely. Not because they’re proven impossible, but because someone believes they are.
The result? Missed opportunities and wasted time, money and energy.
What if the only thing standing between you and a possibility is an assumption? Do you or others really know? Or do you just think you know?
Why assume something is impossible?
What do I know about that? More than I ever wanted. Once, my future was uncertain. Nobody knew whether I’d survive a stroke. Later, the question was how well I’d recover. https://lnkd.in/p/ejmdtAJN

Countless changes have been brought about, inventions created, difficult elections and competitions won, funds raised, and businesses, organizations and projects established. Even when their success seems far from certain.
Refuse to give up too soon.
Never say ‘nooit’.
Successful entrepreneurs, teams, inventors, leaders, change managers and other pioneers have one thing in common: they don’t give up before they’ve achieved what they set out to do. And they refuse to let predictions stop them before they’ve even had a chance to prove them wrong.
Don’t be too quick to rule something out.
Never Say Nooit wants to encourages anyone not to give up on their ambitions too soon, whatever they want to achieve. There’s a crucial difference between “It’s impossible to predict whether it will work” and “It’s impossible for it to work. Never confuse uncertainty with impossibility. And don’t let unnecessary barriers stand in your way.
