If I Had…

A penny for every time I said, “I can’t”
A nickel for each time I said, “It won’t work”
A dime for all the times I said, “It can’t be done”
A quarter for each time I said, “That’s impossible”
Over the 80+ years of my life, I would have amassed a fortune.

However, since no one is going to make me rich that way,
I would be miserable, penniless and frustrated because…

“It won’t work” begs the question, “Did you try?”
“It can’t be done” says, “How do you know?”
“Impossible” says, “Is it?”
Then, there is, “I can’t,”
But of course, “I can’t” never did do anything anyway!
