On the topic of dreaming

This was not originally thought to be a post about quotes and their origin, but it ended up beginning like that anyway - as I dived into the quote:
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I found that it did not originate from Walt Disney personally, eventhough it is attributed to him by many people. It seems to be a quote by Tom Fitzgerald, who put the words together while working as  "imagineer" - a job I would love to have, dragged together from "imagination" and "engineering". It covers a position in design and development within Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, Inc. - but now I think I have started digressing...
The original point was that I do not necessarily believe in a one-to-one-relationship between what can be imagined and what can be done. On the other hand, I am pretty certain that another relationship exists - a relationship which can be described by
If you can't even dream it, how could you dream of doing it?
All that's left to say is: make sure to keep your dreams and your powers of imagination alive and well. Who knows? Something worth turning into reality, might come out of it.
