Thoughts on failure

I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work. - Thomas Edison
Imagine that - 10,000 attempts that did not meet his expectations and yet he managed to create one of the most world-changing inventions!
How many of us are able against all odds to keep on trying to break through into success without giving up. Too few people have the Edison attitude. Barriers and challenges are excuses to stop because it is too hard, not for me, I don't have the talent (like talent is the only factor), I should have done it years ago - it's too late now. Oh the excuses that roll off the tongue! 
It is great to be in the company of people like our eBrainz tutors who are really stretching the possibilities of what they can do. Spreading the word about their talents is a bit like finding 10,000 ways that don't work, but we're into the 11,000 lane now and still going strong. The grass is just about to break through - watch us grow!
