I didn't invent it. I never made it. I only had the plans drawn up for it. I wasn't trying to impress anyone. I doubt I'm the first one to have that idea. I bet others were also told by professionals and scholars that it wasn't possible. My point was: don't listen to people when they say you can't do something.

I can't say that I would have perfected it, or even been able to market it, but I kick myself for not even trying, just because someone I looked up to said it wouldn't work.

i had this with solar powered LED light, for areas without power, so people can do stuff at night. tolf not doable, failing grade. later found proff won award for similar idea. one of several reasons i dropped out.
