It always seems impossible until it's done.

Chasing a dream is hard work, but the right words, spoken at the right time by people who've been there, give us the motivation we need. The right words renew our enthusiasm, energize our efforts, dispel doubt, make us feel we're not alone, and show us that the struggle is worth it and can be won. Kathryn and Ross Petras are masters at choosing the right words and delivering them. Their books, such as "Age Only Matters If You're a Coward" and "Dance First. Think Later," and their bestselling "The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said," have sold more than 5.2 million copies. Now comes a book for dreamers and doers, as well as writers, entrepreneurs, graduates, artists, and future influencers. Gathering hard-won and brilliantly expressed advice from pioneers who paved the way, including everyone from Rumi to Steve Jobs, Michelangelo to Oprah to Tina Fey, *It Always Seems Impossible Until It's Done* reads like a locker room pep talk, inspiring courage, commitment, and perseverance. I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost nearly 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been tasked with the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that's why I've succeeded.* Michael Jordan Go baby! Life isn't a dress rehearsal.* Tallulah Bankhead Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.* Neil Gaiman If you're not in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? T.S. Eliot It always seems impossible until it's done.* Nelson Mandela
