Go ahead, do something impossible.
We must always aim for the impossible; if we lower our goal, we also diminish our effort.
You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.

It's hard to drive at the limit, but it's harder to know where the limits are.

You can't get anywhere in life without taking risks.
Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.
