Hello folks,
I am looking to get help to translate a simple phrase into Hungarian for a mug I would like to get a friend who is learning the language.
Is anyone able to translate the following into Hungarian, or know a typical Hungarian phrase that means the same thing?
'Striving to achieve the impossible, one day at a time'
Any help you can give would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
(The only person I know who speaks Hungarian is him, and asking him rather ruins the surprise! I do not trust google translate. Thank you!)

Translated by my Hungarian wife, who is a professional translator and listed in the https://www.expat.com translators business directory (everything following is from her):
A cél elérni a lehetetlent, napról-napra haladva
The actual translation is word by word: The goal is to reach the impossible, progressing day by day
THE PROBLEM IS:
In Hungarian one does not use the "impossible" as a goal, it is accepted that this is impossible... but it can be understood the way I translated it. By the way it was not used in German either before the business-lingo did not introduce it.
