~Failure? There’s A Way!

~Failure? There’s A Way!

Nearly everyone has heard that Thomas Edison failed hundreds of times while trying to invent the electric light bulb. Those who did not know how to convert failure into success simply said the electric light bulb will never work.

However, those who asserted that the light bulb was not possible missed a chance for great wealth. Thomas Edison, by contrast, knew that his problems and failures would lead him to his success.

He used his failures to isolate what he needed to know. He persevered despite countless problems and obstacles, and eventually lit up the world. Yes, Thomas Edison became a very wealthy man as he used his failures to bring him--and everyone else--great success

Einstein said, “I think and think for months and year. Ninety-nine times the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.”

Edison and Einstein were perfect examples. Both were called geniuses, but neither one liked that title. Remember, it was Edison himself who gave us that famous definition of genius: "One percent inspiration and 99% perspiration."

The problem with too many people today is that they're not willing to perspire long enough, if at all.

They want their success instantly, but it rarely comes that way. We have to be willing to fail first.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."--Thomas A. Edison

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."--Thomas A. Edison

“There’s a way, find it”. Thomas Edison

Here’s to success. Sincerely Bill Simmon
