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!!!
