Impossible Is Nothing
Impossible Is Nothing is a 2006 video résumé by Aleksey Vayner (formerly Aleksey Garber, died 23 January 2013) which became an Internet meme. In October 2006, Yale University student Aleksey Vayner applied for a job with UBS, an investment bank. Amused by Vayner's apparent puffery, an unknown member of UBS staff emailed his application materials to other investment banks. The video was posted on various blogs, then YouTube, where it became an immense viral Internet phenomenon. The video opens with Vayner giving a lengthy response to a question from an offscreen voice. Using a considerable amount of business jargon, Vayner praises himself and shares his various insights on success, talent, and overcoming adversity. Interspliced with the interview are clips of various feats purportedly performed by Vayner, including bench pressing, skiing, playing tennis, ballroom dancing, and karate-chopping a stack of bricks. The video ends with a dedication to Radomir Kovačević and a credits sequence.
