Possible

At a workshop for students, Pravin Kakode shared the story behind his popular slogan. He would help his daughter get ready for school. After she wore her uniform, he would help her put on the tie, as the clip of the tie needed to be locked behind the neck.

 One day, the little one was not eager to go to through the routine. The father firmly asked her to be independent & dress on her own. She was upset but did so grudgingly. She managed to wear the tie all by herself and happily said in Konkani, ‘zai naa ashe kai na’ (Nothing is Impossible)

 It became a war cry at his business, aptly called Upgrade and a lot changed since. It empowered ownership and commitment to a solution focused on 'can do' attitude. The tag line has helped people beyond Upgrade as he loves sharing his motivational quote with everyone he interacts with.

 The word ‘possible’ refers to not just what is attainable but also what can be done only if we were to put sincere efforts. Over the centuries, the unimaginable has been achieved because someone did not let doubts to deter the determination. The greatest of inventions seemed impossible yet they came to fulfilment

 We must choose to believe in the power of the possible. We must step beyond the restrictive limits of what is practical and holds confirmation of feasibility. We must align to the attributive angle that rises from conviction that it is always possible!  

 Heed that no deed is impossible

Positive belief makes it possible!
