Motto: “Courage is rarely roar of a lion’s strength and greatness. Most times it is only a thin voice, but full of confidence, saying: <Maine I try again!>.”

It is said that the famous inventor Thomas Edison, light bulb father, when he was exhausted by his many attempts  to find a suitable material for the filament lamp or a console was known: “What a pity,” he said it, “so searching and so many efforts and all in vain!”, the prolific inventor who jumped the burn: “What are you talking about? What do you mean for nothing? now know more than 9,000 materials not what I need too! “.
Leave behind the idea (very interesting by the way) that derives from it, such as experience (or know-how, or skill or whatever you want to tell) mainly means knowing things that should not be made. What I would ask but noted is that Edison tried over 9,000 times to solve the problem. For over 9,000 times started with enthusiasm by business, over 9,000 times I hope that everything will get better and all of the over 9,000-fold taste failure. And, remember, mention here only the invention of light bulb without counting all the deterrence we lived it, likely the invention of phonograph, the cinetoscopului, microphone with coal dust and other wonders that remained in history.

Edison tried 9,000 times, but eventually succeeded. It’s an example of tenacity that would have to think about all those entrepreneurs who decide to leave the first pond business more serious difficulties that face. I say this because I met a lot of people downright delighted with how many business opportunities, but abandoned its implementation due to “hardship” that would make you laugh on every entrepreneur have to struggle with quality market.

Business is not a game for ladies. But before we do worry a step back try to imagine how the world would be today if Edison and should be the same.
