#10000failure

Before opportunity crowns you with great success. It usually tests your mettle through adversity. Adversity provides the resistance necessary to develop the strength to overcome great obstacles. This strength consists of self-confidence, perseverance, and, very importantly, self-knowledge. For if you do encounter a setback, it is a clue to a personal weakness. You may have been hasty in judging a competitor, or you may have been too timid in you vision of what needed to be done. Let adversity be you guide to understanding where you misstepped and  which qualities you need to cultivate. No one rejoices in disappointment, but if you are success-conscious, you can turn the situation into a chance  for improving your character, an opportunity you otherwise would have missed.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

The average  person would have quit at the first failure. That's why there have been many average men and only one Edison.   Thomas Edison once observed that the reason most folks don't recognise opportunity when it comes knocking is that is often dressed in coveralls and looks the work. Edison knew that anything worthwhile never comes easily, if it were easy, anyone could do it. Because he persisted far beyond the point the average person would consider reasonable and rational, he produced inventions that even the most learned people of the day considered impossible.   Great advances in knowledge are often achieved by people with an almost fanatical devotion alone are not enough to ensure success; they must be followed by determined, persistent action.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

Edison failed 10000 times before perfection the incandescent electric lightbulb. Don't worry if you fail once. Arguably America's greatest inventor, Thomas Edison had an extraordinarily positive perception of life that greatly enhanced his ability as an inventor. When others might have been hopelessly discouraged after failing thousands of time in an attempt to develop an electric light, the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful experiment as the elimination of solution that wouldn't work, thereby moving him that much closer to successful solution. We could all take a lesson from Edison. Stories abound about inventors who quit trying and gave up too soon or miners who struck could just a few feet beyond where someone else quit digging.   There are few obstacles in life that will not succumb to consistent, sustained, intelligent, positive action. When you are discouraged after you've failed at something, remember Edison's 10000 failures before he arrived at the solution that forever changed the world.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article
