"Nothing is impossible" is the working philosophy imparted to every cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. It emphasizes that every cadet should think actively, try every possible means, and exert tremendous effort to complete any task, rather than looking for excuses for failing to do so, even if the reason seems justifiable. It is this philosophy that has nurtured generations of true men, who, with an fearless mindset, the strength to overcome any obstacle, a sincere and dedicated work ethic, and a responsible, adaptable, and flexible way of thinking, have left West Point and ascended to the pinnacle of various fields, achieving remarkable accomplishments.

West Point cadets believe that "There is no way" or "It's impossible" puts an end to things, while "Nothing is impossible" opens up the possibility of breakthroughs. "There is no way" or "It's impossible" does you no good—immediately discard such thoughts. "Nothing is impossible" benefits you, so you should incorporate it into your mind.
