had a revelation just 2 days ago:
"Never be limited to where you are, think out of the box, make things happen."

this came by when I was talking with a lecturer and she had asked if it was possible to arrange for an excursion for her class the next day. Administration wise it was not very possible because of it being last minute and the cost may be beared by the office. More importantly, I wasn't sure how to go about doing it. So in the end the answer was a 'no'.
But at the end of the day after much discussion between my boss and the lecturer, arrangements were made for the participants to attend the excursion. Things were made real, just like that.

So in the end, it's just the effort i was willing to put in to make it happen? I knew something could have been done but i resisted that.
