Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before perfecting the incandescent electric light bulb. Don’t worry if you fail once.

Whenever we think to ourselves that we have tried everything to solve a problem or achieve something, that is a lie. We have not tried everything. The more ways we try and do something, the better. If we fail, we have an education on what does not work. I was thinking about the quitting smoking process that I went through. I tried and fail hundreds of times to quit, and always went back until I was finally successful. If one plan does not work, we need to simply change our approach and not quit. Losers quit, and we are not losers.

So let's remember today that because we try something a few times and it doesn't work, that does not mean that we'll never achieve the particular outcome that we want. Sometimes a little persistence is all we need. Very often it is a numbers game. The more we play, the better we get. It reminds me of when I used to play video games. I would play a game so many times I eventually mastered the game. Same as life. But the key is to keep playing, just like Edison.
