Quote of the Day: Failure
“I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Thomas Edison
Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor best known for his innovations in electric power generation, communication, and cinema. This quote reminds us of the old adage “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again!” I love the humility of this successful man who suggests he has not triumphed 10,000 times, but still will not admit failure. If you haven’t found success in 10,000 attempts, then 10,001 may be your number. Keep going!

Golden Nuggets
A metaphor on how we see things and how we feel things
In the deep dark wild west somewhere near the end of the gold rush there was a river and on either side of that river were two men, Bob and Jim.
Their jobs were panning for gold.
Both sides of the river had EXACTLY the same amount of gold to mud ratio, but Bob on the far side of the river each morning would wake up and groan, dreading the day….he knew it was the end of the gold rush and he KNEW there was never any gold to find……all there was….MUD….mud mud MUD! And sigh… Off he went to another miserable, empty day of work.
Now. on the near side of the river a different man, Jim, worked….from the beginning of dawn….. He just couldn’t miss a moment of light! Up he would jump at first light and literally run to work, eager for the day to begin because …..he could find MORE GOLD!!!!
In his pan, as he deftly shook the mud away Jim found the tiniest specks of gold and carefully collected each speck until over the days the specks became the tiniest mound of gold, and each day the mound grew bigger and bigger…. And Jim couldn’t WAIT to see all the beautiful gold he had collected.
Then one day miserable, tired, and fed up as anything, Bob on the far side of the river shouted over…….. “Oi”! (he couldn’t contain his misery and contempt)…. ”Why are you so happy when this river is just full of MUD?!!”
Jim looked blankly and said….. “What mud?”
The message
We all have mud in our lives. So much so that sometimes it is all too easy to miss the tiny golden nuggets we have too! We go to bed at night and we think about all the mud we have seen in the day just gone, and all the mud we have to come in the day ahead.
STOP!
Tonight when you go to bed look forward to finding the golden nuggets of your day gone by, they may be small, but they are there. Perhaps it was a friendly smile from a stranger on the bus, a lovely comment from a neighbour, or a call or text from a family member or friend. Then think about the golden nuggets that you may find tomorrow, they may be small but they are there if you search for them. Be Lucky Jim.
