Right. You can come up with a million excuses why any idea won't work. Then you look at things like spacex and realize that it took someone trying an idea that by all means should have failed. I mean you gotta have some insight and rationality to avoid making another pet rock, but it's not hard to find potential flaws. The op above sounds like an engineer commenting on how to be a ceo. |

Why should it have failed? What did the engineers and salespeople at SpaceX do about those reasons?
A) Throw their hands up and decide they weren’t worth investigating solutions to them
B) Plow forward and completely ignore them
C) Study the problems to understand the conditions that would make them irrelevant
D) Study the problems, decide the only way out of them was through solving them, and then apply their skills and time to doing so
E) both C and D

There is this idea I keep seeing. I’ll call it, “Impossible is Nothing”. Where you ignore roadblocks just plow forward blindly in spite of them and overcome them through force of will. But magic doesn’t exist. Things don’t get built because someone shouted loud enough. Things get built because people saw the potential problems and then
1) Exercised judgement to evaluate if the problems were real.
2) If so, applied skill to uncover their details and solve them.
If you decide to skip step #1 and just blindly have faith that the problem isn’t real, then it still stands in your way and still causes you to fail.
