What "impossible" things have you done?


Have you been told by someone "That's impossible!" and then went on to do it, just to prove them wrong?

Please share your stories.

Long, long ago I was told you couldn't boot Unix and MS-DOS from the same hard drive. (Back before Linux was a thing) It took some cleaver tweaking of the boot sector, but I had it working reliably the next day.

I was told I couldn't get a job in the company they were working in. They said I was too junior. I applied anyway and got it ^_^

The flip side is that I've been told that I'm never going to succeed in launching a business. Been stubbornly trying for a long time T_T
