About this title

Synopsis

People who say that failure is not an option are probably not doing anything! Failure isn't an end, it's a means to an end. Most of what I know, I learned by doing wrong the first time. The key to success is making a habit of not repeating the same mistakes.The story goes that "Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb". (Sometimes it is told as 5,000 or 10,000 times, depending on the version.) When asked about it, Edison allegedly said, "I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb."The following stories revolve around the truths that I’ve discovered. While a proponent of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story, I assure you that these are as close to fact as my memory will allow. Some may seem incredible but, after all, that’s why I’m taking the time to write them down!
