Don’t Be Too Proud to Fail

Back to Archives


Thomas A. Edison recorded 1,093 patents. Most of these inventions
were impractical or unmarketable. They were failures. But a man who
invented the phonograph, the mimeograph, and the electric light bulb
could afford a lot of failures. He was so inept in business matters that
he lost control of the profitable companies that he founded, and yet in
the depths of the depression, he died with an estate of $2,000,000.
Edison was a successful failure.

It is obvious that you learn as you fail. You also grow as you fail, but
you must dare to fail. If you can fail enough, you will learn a lot; but if
you are too proud to fail, then you will not enjoy success.
