Quote Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the...

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” - Shel Silverstein

Decryption of quote

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Sometimes we are told what we can't do, what we shouldn't do, what is impossible for us to achieve. It's easy to get discouraged by all the negativity surrounding us, but we must remember to listen to these mustn'ts with a grain of salt.

Listen to the don'ts. People will try to limit us, to hold us back from reaching our full potential. They may say "don't even bother trying" or "don't waste your time." But we must not let these words define us or dictate our actions.

Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Society may place restrictions on us, telling us what we should or shouldn't do, what is impossible to achieve, or what we won't be able to accomplish. But we must not let these limitations hold us back.

Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Despite all the negativity and doubt surrounding us, we must remember that anything is possible. We must listen closely to those who believe in us, who encourage us to chase our dreams and defy the odds.

Anything can happen, child. The world is full of endless possibilities, waiting for us to seize them. We must have faith in ourselves and in the power of our dreams. We must believe that anything can happen if we are willing to work hard and never give up.

Anything can be. We have the power to shape our own destinies, to create the life we want to live. We must not be afraid to dream big and to pursue our passions with all our hearts. Anything can be if we have the courage to believe in ourselves and in the limitless potential of the human spirit.
