One more round - Don't Give Up

Don't Give Up!
I recently came across this write up on a university website and found it relevant for the people who follow my blog.

“Our greatest weakness lives in giving up. The most certain way to success is trying one more time.”

Failure is no biggie. Just ask Edison. If he stopped at failure, he would never have moved on to invent a little thing called the light bulb. Or the phonograph. Or the motion picture camera. We pretty much owe Edison for movies, music and lights. Thank goodness he pressed on!

Young Edison only had three months of traditional schooling. Not because he was brilliant, but because his mind often wandered and his teacher thought him to be “addled.” His unique path to learning came from his mother, who schooled him at home and nursed him through what ended up being lifelong hearing problems. Despite the challenges, he went on to change the world.
What’s stopping you from your dream? Maybe you failed a class somewhere else. Or a scheduling conflict is messing with your plans.  

Talk about a light bulb moment!
