When the Light Bulb Goes Off

 


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

While browsing through various writings, I came across some information regarding Thomas Edison.  It reflected that he would have a vision of an idea, and then set out a way to create it.  As very few seldom succeed on first attempt, Edison diligently moved forward applying one formation after another, with out succeeding for quite a while.

It was interesting to me that Thomas Edison never became negative when he fell short of his mark.  He did not delve into past errors nor did he suffer from the comments other inventors were stating.  He stayed with his vision, patiently advancing forward until it all came together.

Edison's approach was so fundamental and yet very few of us honor and respect our challenging endeavors.  We prematurely give up, and use our energy to listen to the criticism of self or others, depleting our progression.  Let's be patient, and keep trying until the light bulb goes off!
