WHAT THEY SAID AND BELIEVED : THOMAS ALVA EDISON
THOMAS EDISON courtesy web
"I have not failed.
I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Thomas Alva Edison was a scientist, born in america. He had developed many devices we used today and whithout which our life cannot function smoothly. His inventions greatly influenced our life around the world. These inventions include the phonograph and a long lasting light bulb.
Here in this quotation he had talked about the necessity of persistent efforts. Try. Try and Try. If we leave the battlefield due to the defeats we face, we would never be winning.
In our life it happens that we face odd times; some failures in our efforst. This may be due to various reasons: the lack of experiance, improper use of the means aplied, wrongly timed efforts and so on. And we eventually do no succeed. We do not get the results as planned.
Hence we quit the field.
Here we lose. We not only lose our achievement, we lose the essense of the fighting within us. Our spirit is dampened and that could cause long-lasting damages.
So Edition guides us to take the failure as 'the way that did not work', and not a failure as such. Such a positive thinking builts up the spirit of winning in us, and keep us fighting till we see the face of success.
