stone
“The future is not set in stone. It’s very malleable, like clay, and you can mold it into anything you want.” — Infinity
smart soles
If you are really smart you can figure out how to get to your destination in bare feet — but it is so much easier if you have a good pair of shoes.

Do not say, “I have no time at all,” if you have five minutes when no one is looking. Instead, find out how much can change in five minutes.
convention of convenience
The division between what is possible and what is impossible is, for the most part, an arbitrary convention. Ignore convention and decide that your own goals are possible.
tractability
Think of a problem you face. Spend a minute thinking of it as if there were nothing you could do about it. Spend a minute thinking about it as if every detail were subject to your will.
unbelievable
You face enormous obstacles. People are watching to see what you will do. Astound them by persevering, overcoming obstacles, and reaching your goal.
key to the universe
If you have an unlabeled key, you can guess that there is a door you can open, but you don’t know which door.
chant
English has one million words. Most speech and writing repeats the same one thousand words over and over.
possibilities
If you change your posture, it can change your feeling about what is possible. It takes only a moment to change your posture, yet this effect is not so easy to imagine. You may have to actually change your posture to experience a different set of possibilities.
cumulative skill
By the time you are 11 years old, you have more useful skills than you could possibly list.
deadline
Don’t focus on how much time you have left, but on how many possibilities are present in the area immediately around you.
