The unhappy professor
Challenge the impossible

Background
There is a story about a grumpy university professor who was always bitter and angry. In fact, he was so grumpy that many postgraduates were afraid of him. Finally, one student gathered enough courage to ask the professor why he was always grumpy. “Well, you see,” said the professor, “back in the sixties when I was as young as you, we came up with the ideas for everything that is now a reality: the mobile phone, the automatic lawnmower, computers networks and so on. And now, when all this is possible, I retire in a year.”
The poor professor was bitter because he had not been young in an age where the electronic circuit was small enough and cheap enough to be fitted into anything and everything. He was annoyed because it was no longer technology that stood in the way of what could be developed, but the human imagination.
Learn to question the statement that images are impossible to do. Today’s rapid development means that it is now possible to accomplish many things that were previously considered impossible: otherwise, our thoughts run the risk of stagnating. As we solve yesterday’s impossibilities, so must we find new impossibilities to solve tomorrow.
