There is no limit to the things you can achieve. Agree or Disagree?

Question

OneViewpoint · Accepted Answer

Sure there's a limit. Time for one. We don't live forever. And we can't roll back the clock. Causality is a pain in the ass. We can only travel into the future one day one decision at a time.

And few people have essentially unlimited resources. Including mental resources. Some people are a lot more limited in that particular resource than others. Not everyone is capable of creating Calculus (Newton) or dreaming up Relativity (Einstein).

Health is a bitch too. Some people are born with limitations. Some people get polio. Some people get crippled in car accidents. Some jackasses use tobacco, booze, opium, or meth to commit slow motion suicide.

Wars happen. Earthquakes happen. The dinosaurs were having a great time until the universe threw a rock at them.

So choose your battles wisely. Don't waste your precious resources. And know when to walk away as Kenny Rodgers advised.

disagree. I wanted to be an astronaut and it was not just a kids dream but I was serious about it. I joined the Air Force to be a pilot and eventually I wanted to get in the Space Program. I could not pass the eye test and was dropped from the program..

I will never dance ballet if I practice every day for the rest of my life.

Lliam · Answer

Disagree. Everyone has their limits. And it depends on what you want to achieve.

Not everyone can be a race car driver, an Olympic medalist, a professional athlete, a great singer, or a successful actor. Not everyone can become a billionaire.
But everyone can achieve realistic goals that are within their physical and mental capabilities. With hard work and determination, they can even excel.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I disagree.

As one example: dumb people can only get so far.

Me, as one example, will never qualify for a Nobel Prize.

Also: numerous 'things' only are accessible when you know the right people. That's why I didn't get considered for the Olympic team, once.

Lastly: Many ''achievements'' aren't even worth while :D

No, that sounds like a good thing to say to motivate children in primary school, but the adult world works differently.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I always say, "Life is what you make of it," because it is true. You only have one chance at it, so you better not blow it.

slatyb · Answer

That's absurd. People who become elite athletes, musicians, etc. were born with a natural advantage, then worked hard to out-compete others who were born with the same advantages but less drive.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I disagree literally and agree figuratively.

I can't be 25 anymore no matter how hard I try. I can achieve the fitness and blood results that might be typical of a 25 yr old if I work hard, but I'll still chronologically be 46.
