"A simple semantic game may help you commit yourself to an assignment. Use the word problem as infrequently as possible - it has a negative connotation - and substitute the word challenge. Everybody likes a challenge: The word itself hints at fun, games, and competition. When your problem has been transformed into a challenge, it automatically becomes more interesting and manageable." - J Michael Gillete

i got this quote from an architecture blog i frequent. it made good sense to me, confronting my weakness of magnifying problems and not thinking i am good enough. i think deep down i am a pretty positive person, i need to be more motivated, and braver, and remember to draw strength and motivation from the right sources and not cruise along aimlessly. seventeen all the time. as i get older i go throught sifts and by now i should know what i am good at or weak at and to work on those, put the motivation to go for a super run into everything i do. positive builds on positive and negative builds on negative.

impossible is nothing, says adidas.
