Muhammad Ali ‘Impossible is nothing’

JO-D-131019-MuhammadAli01_590pix

It is one of the most inspirational speeches ever from one of the most extraordinary guys. Not only because his sporting successes but also for being a free clever mind.

Muhammad Ali or Cassius Clay, who cares?, said:

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

And I fully agree with this.

It’s, of course, a really popular speech and there is a lot of media and even companies campaigns around his words. I want to have my own version of such incredible words…

Find here some other options I tested…

Ender’s Game

JO-D-131016-EndersGame_590pix

One of my favourite books from my childhood has become a film to premier… Ender’s Game by Orson Scott, and can wait to see the movie!

I had the luck to be close to this movie while working for the incredible guys of Project C, by creating a IMax Twitter Mosaic with the names of the winners of Ender’s Game online competition.

Awesome experience, and really happy to be part of it. Thanks John and Matthew!!

Ernest Shackleton ‘They are all Safe!’

JO-D-131015-ErnestShackleton01_590pix

The Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic travel is one of the greatest real adventures ever, you cant miss. He and another 27 men survived trough an incredible voyage aboard Endurance (or the pieces of it!).

And it’s what I think great, all of them survived… When Shackleton was able to reach Elephant Island, in the rescue mission, he anxiously counted the human figures in the distance exclaiming “They are all there!,  They are all safe!”.

After the quote I spread all crew names of Endurance and, of course, the name of the ship.

  • Love Matter

    I Love when things are not what they seem, and this is the kind of effect I’m trying to create in this image. Love from far away but, if you get closer, the message becomes something little different. I think it should be funny in t-shirts or moving posters…

    Anyway if you prefer a more platonic, abstract and colourful  feeling you can use this other one.

  • Everest 236

    Everest01

    There is something within the human being that makes us commit the most incredible crazy things. But I can not stop admiring those who are able to risk everything for a dream. That is probably one of the few things that make us different from other beings with whom we share this planet.

    Knowing that 236 people have died trying to climb Everest makes me feel perplexity and admiration at once. Do you know that many of them will be there forever?, like frozen in time… by a dream.

    This image is a tribute to all of them.
