For the analytic philosophers who are going to point out to me that my question is a contradiction in terms, replace impossible with "seemingly impossible"!

Repeat: Replace impossible with "seemingly impossible".
I said it in the original question, but clearly some people stopped reading after the words "analytic philosophers"!
So I apologize for repeating myself to those of you who did read the original question! Thank you.

Impossible is not about capability, it is about time. Many years ago it was impossible to manipulate electricity as we do today, or it was impossible to fly, etc.
Many things may seem impossible to us now and may not happen during our lifetime, but may very well easily occur later in time.
All this leads to:
We have to keep trying, never give up. If you can't accomplish something in your lifetime, then make sure someone continues your efforts.

There is a great difference in doing the impossible and being the impossible.For instance you may attack problems that may seem impossible but you cannot turn a dog into a human being, at least not at this time.

You Sit Back and make it a state of mind- even though it's not possible in reality, its possible for the brain to simulate. things may be impossible- but its never impossible to imagine.

Personally, I would start with the hard, move to the improbably, then move to the impossible. Baby steps.

You can do the impossible by not doing anything at all.
That which is impossible is done by not doing anything which is possible. Therefore, by doing nothing at all, the impossible is done.

Anything IS possible, There fore, Nothing is impossible.
Dream your dreams, Blue print your dreams,
Contract with your self to construct them stone by stone,
But while your dreaming, dream big.
If you truly believe anything is possible,
And if you have the belief in your self,
Then you can truly accomplish anything.

Employ someone else to do it and then constantly look over their shoulder and criticise
