I Have Never Failed!...Have You?

IT may sound strange and unbelievable, but allow me to say that “You have never failed”. Have you ever beaten yourself silly, criticised yourself or even received harsh words from others who considered you a failure at something? Has someone, anyone, ever called you a failure?

Give me a moment to remind you of a true story, the story of Thomas Edison, the man credited with inventing the light bulb. History has it that Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, some say Edison made more than 1000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail so many times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail those times. I simply found so many ways how not to create a light bulb.” Waoh!!!
