It Can be done
Everyone in today’s society has their own issues, fears or challenges. Each individual can let these obstacles to take them down or drive them to be a better person. Obstacles can change individual’s emotions, way of thinking or their character. Each encounter can either add or take away from them. Typically, people let their obstacles define them while others arise from them. Despite someone who lets their obstacles define them, it’s important for them to overcome them. A way to overcome them is with a positive attitude.

Whenever someone told him he couldn’t do something “the first thing we knew he’d [had] begun it” (12). No matter what “it” was he always tried before he said he couldn’t do it. Guest was definitely a risky guy and hard said no. He was the type of person to get up “without any doubting” (14) and started tackle anything that was put his way. Guest would look at an obstacle “that couldn’t be done, and [he’d do] it” (16). There are not a lot of individuals similar to Guest. Individuals see something that has not been done and get scared; However, Guest does not get scared “he [takes] off his coat and [takes] off his hat and the first thing we knew he’d begun it” (11-12).
Guest tried to encourage others to have his mind set. His mindset was, even if “there are thousands to tell you it cannot be done (17),” all you have to do is “buckle in with a bit of a grin, just take off your coat and go do it” (21-22). There are “dangers that wait to assail you” (20). However, individuals cannot let those dangers become an obstacle. Those individuals have to conquer those fears. Guest conquers his fears by “[taking] off [his] coat and [goes straight] to it” (22). Guest encourages others to conquer their fears and do things that aren’t usually done or “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it”
