In 1902, the poetry editor of Atlantic Monthly returned a stack of poems with this note, "Our magazine has no room for your vigorous verse." The poet was Robert Frost. In 1905, the University of Bern turned down a doctoral dissertation as "irrelevant and fanciful." The writer of that paper was Albert Einstein. In 1894 an English teacher noted on a teenager's report card, "A conspicuous lack of success." The student was Winston Churchill.

Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, "I have failed three times," and what happens when he says, "I am a failure."

     It isn’t difficult to fail in this adventure called life.  All one has to do is follow these daily dozen…

1. Spend all your time planning but never doing.
2. Try to do three things all at once.
3. Don’t keep after a job until it is finished.
4. Don’t make a priority list.
5. Or…waste your time making one and then conveniently misplacing it.
6. Waste the time of day that you are at your best.
7. Don’t make deadlines.
8. Never do first what you don’t want to do but know you should do or have done.
9. Chase other people’s dreams while calling them your own.
10. Never ask for help.
11. Work hard at being disorganized.

Read these suggestions and promptly immediately forget them.

It isn’t that failure is always bad. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times and learned from every one of them.   He studied them and let them be his teacher.  He let them plow his field of thought by turning them over and over in his mind.

I love the following quote from Henry Ford failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently."

A QUOTE FROM THE BOOK “THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN”

            Prejudices against foreigners existed in the 19^th century no less than in our own time.  But then, to be considered a proper American, one had not only to be native born but Protestant.  Since Abe could not stand bigots, as he easily hearkened back to his own English roots, he would remind a repetitive hypocrite, that unless they were an Indian it was hard to see how they could make a claim to be of native stock.  To top off his comments he would often tell the story of the Irishman who after being berated for not being born in America replied, “I would have, but my mama wouldn’t let me.”
