They


They said it couldn't be done.

They said I would never make it.

They said it wouldn't last.
Who are "they"? I look at statements like the ones above and wonder why those statements aren't worded like this:
They said that if anyone could do it, you were the one.

They said it would be hard, but I made it.

They said I could make it last if I wanted it badly enough.
The end result if we constantly find ourselves saying the former statements instead of the latter? Maybe some of us need to find a new "they."

(at least that's what they told me)
