Failure

What exactly is failure? Many people would say it's a defeat, or that your done. You know when Edison was in the process of inventing the incandescent bulb, he failed thousands of times. Later a reporter asked Edison how he carried on even though he failed so many times. Edison was confused by the reporter's question. He thought for a minute and said "What do you mean failed?", "I just found thousands of ways not to make a light bulb." 

You see we never really fail until we decide to give up. So failure is ultimately a decision, it is not someting caused by outside circumstances. I am not suggesting that you will never meet with temporary setbacks but it is up to you to decide whether or not you will keep pressing forward or give up. So keep striving and reaching for your goals.....

I'll leave you with a quote from Confucius:

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail."

Until next time......
