Learn from Mistakes

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

 

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

When we fail, do we learn lessons from it or we just consider it as a failure?

If we fail and start learning from it, we come more closer to Success. Failures are an integral part in the journey to Success.
