Top Quotes for the New Year
 After
Thomas Edison’s seven-hundredth unsuccessful attempt
to invent electric light, he was asked by a New York
Times reporter, “How does it feel to have failed
seven hundred times?” The great inventor responded,
“I have not failed seven hundred times. I have not
failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those seven
hundred ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways
that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”
Several thousand more of these successes followed, but Edison
finally found the one that would work, and invented the
electric light. Failure is an attitude, not an outcome.
To know
what is right and not do it is the worse cowardice. Confucius
Listen
very carefully when a client prefaces a comment with, “This
may not be important, but..” Hammerschmidt
and Meador
People
are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get
on in their world are the people who get up and look for
the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find
them, make them. George Bernard Shaw.
