Impossible List
by Fábio Balan
You may be wondering what an Impossible List is and why it is here. Unlike a wish list, this list never has an end. It is always growing and evolving, because as I complete a completed item, new challenges and dreams emerge. The goal is not to finish the list, but rather to continue pushing the boundaries of what I believe is possible. I'm keeping my list public as a form of personal commitment and, perhaps, to inspire others to start their own impossible lists.
