Brilliant and inspiring. I'd always heard the phrase "you can do anything" but reading your piece on it brings enlightenment especially from the point of view that we are limited to the hand life deals us.
... from the moment we are born, the restriction on our potential begins.
Imagine being born into an environment where all resources are available, then a person can be told 'he can do anything'.
but do all resources include all genetic resources? I think it is impossible - one can't be both tall and short simultaneously :)
