It is all very well, in these changing times, to adapt one's work to take in duties not traditionally within one's realm; but bantering is of another dimension altogether. for one thing, how would one know for sure that at any given moment a response of the bantering sort is truly what is expected? one need hardly dwell on the catastrophic possibility of uttering a bantering remark only to discover it wholly inappropriate.

Needs Inappropriate Possibility
The successful human being is adaptable. we have to adapt to changes in weather. we have to adapt to changes in climate. we have to adapt to changing economic circumstances. people that don't have the flexibility to adapt or who are afraid of change or who oppose it are going to be left behind.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. you’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. you’ve just crossed over into… the twilight zone.

Here’s what i know about the realm of possibility— it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. everything around us was once deemed impossible. from the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. as hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. and yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.
