“People who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it”
― George Bernard Shaw
- endofreach 3y agoUh, i never heard this quote. It‘s driving me nuts that people literally interrupt discussions working on solutions by saying how it‘s impossible and blocking… instead of just trying to find a way and think about all the alternatives, that they haven‘t even thought about starting to think about. Thanks for the quote.

- maximinus_thrax 3y agoIs publishing an article 'interrupting'? I find it hard to believe that the Verge editors are going after Google competitors and tapping them on the shoulder to let them know it can't be done while they're doing it. Also, the quote is actually not attributable to Shaw. Seriously, look it up. It's one of those motivation porn fake quotes.
- johnnyworker 3y agoI thought that was a Chinese proverb. Turns out the origin is unknown: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/01/26/doing/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/01/26/doing/
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoPretty sure Confucianism greatly values conformism, so such proverb would be uncharacteristic.
- CrzyLngPwd 3y agoI should have left off the name.
