A quote of the day:

'Giving up is the only sure road to failure.' - unknown

In an interview with Thomas Edison, the interviewer said "Before you created the lightbulb you failed hundreds of times. What gave you the motivation to keep trying?

Edison answered "I never failed. I just found hundreds of ways NOT to build a lightbulb."

If we try something and don't get the outcome we were hoping for, we have still learned from the experience - even if all we learned was how NOT to do something. We are smarter than before we tried and we can now attempt our feat again. This time a bit wiser.

Just a few inspirational words for your Tuesday.
