13. When a reporter asked Thomas
Edison how it felt to have failed
25,000 times in his effort to create
a simple storage battery, his reply
was, “I don’t know why you are
calling it a failure. Today I know
25,000 ways not to make a battery.
What do you know?”
When Thomas Edison invented the light
bulb, he tried over 2,000 experiments
before he got it to work. A young reporter
asked him how it felt to fail so many
times. He said, “I never failed once. I
invented the light bulb. It just happened
to be a 2,000-step process.”

14. When our dreams begin to die, so do
we. When we share our dreams with
God, He won’t laugh and say, “Well,
good luck.” As a matter of fact, God
will take our dreams more seriously
than we do, because He knows no
compromise. He doesn’t deal in pieces
of happiness and shadows of dreams.
He will ask more of us than we ask of
ourselves, but He will return more to
us than we could ever hope or imagine
ourselves.”
-- Martha Williamson
Executive
