Those two funny words
November 21, 2011
It’s funny,
Those two words,
“You can’t.”
Not like “you’re not allowed”
But more like someone else saying you can’t do what they do
“You can’t”
Throw a football,
Run faster than me,
Get a better grade on the test,
Most people associate “you can’t” with,
Inability,
Incapableness,
Powerless,
And
Failure.
Why?
“You can’t” should just be a reason to try harder,
So you can say
“I did”
