When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.” Edison replied very confidently with a smaile, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know now that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb!!” See Thomas Edison knew that he was not going to give up on his idea after a few shortcommings. Whether it was one time , two times, or two thousand times he did not give up. Don’t give up and keep trying, if you quit you will never learn what works.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>by: Author Unknown, The Prayer of the Frog Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money. Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet ?” The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself. There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself – your heart; and not the world.</p><p>The post <a href="https://mycompassionconnection.org/dont-change-world/">Don’t Change the World</a> appeared first on <a href="https://mycompassionconnection.org">My Compassion Connection</a>.</p>]]></description>
