“The most certain way to succeed is to try one more time.” - Thomas Edison
Breakfast at iHop one morning found us with too many creamers on our table to ignore. We started arranging the creamers, and after multiple attempts, we were able to create a tower of fourteen creamers high. Success was declared, and 14 high became our personal best. This achievement called for a selfie--some accomplishments just need their recognition and celebration. 😊
Bill: How many attempts does a baby take learning to walk? So incredibly determined! Or how many times must a brave guy get slapped before a successful first kiss on a date?
Sheri: Thomas Edison also said, “I have not failed 10,000 times—I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work” I am sure glad he persisted!
The point is, just keep trying until you achieve success. There is no rule as to how many times to try. But we can say for sure, if you don’t try again, it’s a guarantee that you won’t ever achieve success.
We shall return to the IHop and one day elevate our “creamer caper” to new heights and even greater success…or at least try.
