Thomas Edison is a character in history I have always admired. Not just because he was a genius inventor but where that stemmed from, a "great mind." My favorite about him was his "tireless persistence" in coming up with the material for the filament to get that darn light bulb invention of his not to burn out so fast. Do you realize how hard that was? Yes he did put in the "hard work" to find tungsten eventually but he also worked SMART, knowing what that solution eventually would look like, how it would perform. Working SMART in our lives means shooting for the "optimum" not just "a solution". It led Thomas Edison to this quote in your search for the BEST solution in everything you do:
"When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't."
It stresses the working smart. We do readily figure out life is not as easy to get through with all its problems, valleys, pits and potholes that just seem to come out of nowhere for us. BUT the point I am making we do not have to WALLOW in the potholes but find ways to get around them, over them, through them, SOONER rather than LATER. Remember Thomas Edison's thought combining persistence with the BEST, and you too will burn brightly ON and ON and ON. Almost a miracle now that was never there till you found it with your smart self.
