Do the Impossible

Steve Jobs did the impossible, and he did so on more than one occasion. What was his secret? He explored various religious views, and eventually settled on a sort of personal zen Buddhism. He experimented with different drugs in high school and college, ranging from marijuana to LSD. He was a free spirited, yet deeply conflicted individual, with a unique way of thinking. He just never let himself believe that anything was impossible.

Jobs' friend and associate Steve Wozniak built a circuit board that everyone else thought was impossible to build. Jobs and Wozniak together built the Apple II. Jobs took over a floundering Macintosh team and turned the product around to save Apple. Over 10 years after being ousted from the company he created, he was brought back in and saved Apple yet again. His 'reality distortion field' would simply take over situations and make them be the way he wanted them to be. The secret to doing the impossible is to bend reality to your will. Make the impossible possible.
