Impossible Idea

There was a story in China in ancient days. At a certain rural part of China, there lived an old man. In front of his house, there were two mountains, blocking his way to go out freely. One day, he decided to remove away the two mountains. His neighbour, a wise old man, told him that he was so foolish to make such decision. But the foolish old man replied to him that he knew he could not remove the mountain in his life, but his sons and grandsons could continue to remove. As a matter of fact, his endless descendants will continue the task. Finally, his motive came to God who helped him by removing away the two mountains.
It is, of course not true in reality. But it hints us that when we do something impossible, there is also a possibility to realize our dream. It is that the impossible thing itself may change itself, making our impossible to be possible.
For example, if we do not want to be sick, we should not think that it is impossible. But, through our will power and persistence to take care our life, sickness will not come upon us.
