Let’s set a goal to make as many mistakes as possible, mistakes from which we can learn

 Our favorite story regarding mistakes comes from a quote by Thomas Edison. Edison’s goal was to find a suitable filament to make the incandescent electric light a viable device.

 ”I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”

 Too many times we start something difficult, get bogged down because the problem seems too big, and either promise to work on it later, or quitting outright. We need to keep in that our greatest successes come from staying committed to a difficult task and believing our abilities to patiently find a solution no matter how long it takes or how much work needs to be involved.

 Hang in there!
