Ordinary Person: "What are you doing?"

Ordinary Person: "You're crazy." 

Creative Perso n : " Why don't we add a little `Tongkat Ali powder‟ ?" Ordinary Person:  "Because the recipe doesn't call for `Tongkat Ali’." 

Ordinary Person: "Why are you going this way? It's longer."

I might fail !!!! 

• Thomas Edison, in his search for the perfectfilament for the incandescent lamp, triedanything he could think of, includingwhiskers from a friend's beard. In all, hetried about 1800 things. After about 1000attempts, someone asked him if he wasfrustrated at his lack of success. He saidsomething like,

"I've gained a lot of knowledge--I nowknow a thousand things that won't work.“ 

• Failures along the way should be expectedand accepted

• Failure is a sign of action, struggle and

attempt

• “Mistakes aren’t fun, but they sure areeducational”
