There is a famous quote from Napoleon that goes “There is no such word as ‘impossible’ in my dictionary”. I think it is a phrase that everyone has heard at least once. The correct name is “Napoleon Bonaparte”. He was an emperor of France who was active in the early 19th century and was known as a military leader. There are various theories about the translation, but it can be understood as “If it is within the realm of my abilities, then nothing is impossible for me. Even if there were a dictionary, the word ‘impossible’ should not be in it.”
Napoleon was a genius and a dedicated person
This quote, “There is no such word as ‘impossible’ in my dictionary,” is said to have been spoken by Napoleon on July 21, 1798, in front of the Pyramids of Giza during his expedition to Egypt. He was intellectually gifted from a young age, excelling in mathematics and even graduating early. He became famous for orchestrating a coup against the French Directory government, effectively ending the French Revolution. Additionally, Napoleon continued to love one woman, Josephine de Beauharnais, whom he married at the age of 27 and treasured. Although they could not have children, he famously called out Josephine’s name even as he was dying.
Did Napoleon really say it?
In Japan, the phrase “There is no such word as ‘impossible’ in my dictionary” is translated as above, but in France, it is said that the word “impossible” is not appropriate. Some people think that the phrase has evolved over time from “The word ‘impossible’ only exists in the dictionary of fools”. Napoleon himself left many other famous quotes, recognizing how great a person he was. Originally, it was written as a reply to a letter sent by a commander during a German campaign. Napoleon’s words were intended to encourage his subordinates, saying “Do your best until the end,” and he was able to convey a sense of charisma and depth of conviction at the young age of 29. We can feel his strong will to fulfill the role given to him and to accomplish anything.
Summary
Although there are various theories about Napoleon’s words, we can catch a glimpse of why he was active not only in the French Revolution but also in his other endeavors. Learning from people like Napoleon, who have leadership and excellent organizational skills, can teach us many ways of living. It is important not to give up on everything as impossible, but to face challenges with determination.
