How many attempts does it take to light up a light bulb?
Thomas Edison and his team experimented with more than 6,000 materials in their pursuit of finding a viable option for the incandescent light bulb’s filament.
At any point, they could have chosen to dwell on darkness, but they didn’t.
Rather, they chose to view each experimental failure as a learning opportunity that moved them one step closer to the possibility of ushering in the era of electric light.
If you intend to succeed and are committed to learning, don’t waste your time and energy dwelling on failure.
Instead, choose to see failure as feedback, learn from it, and propel yourself forward towards the light. That’s the path towards discovering new possibilities.
