Motivational Power Quote

Your Lessons of The Past Make You Who You Are Today
Results! Why, Man, I have gotten a lot of results.
I know several thousand things that won’t work.”
Thomas Alva Edison1847 – 1931, Inventor, Businessman


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your lessons of the past make you who you are today  

Prior to inventing the incandescent light bulb Thomas A. Edison discovered the lessons of 10,000 ways that . . . . the light bulb would not work. There could have been 9,999 reasons for him to quit . . . . but Thomas Edison endured. He used his experiences as lessons to learn from what did not work . . . . until he had the break through and invented the incandescent light blub.

Thomas A. Edison learned valuable lessons . . . . on the way to success.

He learned that when things are not going the way he wanted them to, he . . . . . maintained the mindset to keep on going forward using the experiences of the lessons that he had learned.  He also learned a great lesson in turning his setbacks into stepping stones to success . . . . and that failure was only a temporary condition unless you quit.

He had the perseverance to continue to believe in him self . . . . and to work through his obstacles.

It is safe to say Thomas Edison would say . . . . your lessons of the past make you who you are today.
