We all know the true story of Thomas Edison and of his more than one thousand patents for numerous inventions, including, of course, the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion-picture projector. But people rarely stop to think of all the failures he experienced along the road to those great achievements. Its recorded that, on one occasion. Edison and his associates were working in their New Jersey laboratory, trying to perfect an invention and meeting up with failure upon failure. Finally, one of Edison's assistants threw up his hands and said, "What a waste! We have tried over seven hundred experiments, and every one was a failure! We're no better off than when we began!"
"Oh, yes, we are," Edison replied with a buoyant smile. "We know seven hundred approaches that won't work. We're getting closer all the time!"
That is the attitude of winners. They NEVER give up! No triumphs and trophies come cheap. Your online business may be struggling at the moment, but you know what, hang in there, keep working, keep learning and motivating yourself. You will make it to the other end. Quitters will never succeed! It's always too soon to throw in the towel.
