My Caboodle of Irritable Hap-Happens #1

1.) whenever a professor say that some person or figure is smarter, better, or at level we can never obtain. Whether the professor says something such as, “Chaucer was a genius, he was so much more brilliant than any of can even hope to be.” or “Shakespeare was such an unbelievable mind that anything we write is just crap when you compare it to Shakespeare.” These sort of statements that try to place me into a group of people that will never obtain greatness equal to that of my predecessors, is such utter crap. It is this sort of close minded thinking that has been stunting the potential of people, since the dawn of modern thought. I hold firmly to the belief that by allowing our imaginations to change and exist, and with constant efforts towards any goal there is NOTHING that I, or we as humans, cannot obtain with enough hard work and creativity. Fuck the conception that Chaucer, Shakespeare, Einstein, Hawkings, Whitman, Paul, or even (save from blasphemy) Jesus, Buddha, or Da Vinci; are for whatever the reasoning, “better than I am, or that I am not capable of their level of greatness.” I know for fact, certain, I am as capable as I believe I am. Anyone who tells me different will be proven wrong, I testify. Gracious that annoys me!
