“Results!  Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results.  I know several thousand things that won’t work.”   —   Thomas Edison

(Trial and error!  That’s how things get created/discovered, folks.  But observation also comes into play.  Observing other peoples failures first is probably a good starting point.  Especially when there is an element of danger, or even death, involved.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Happy birthday to Dave Grohl . . . inventor of the Monkey Wrench???  LOL!

“The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”   —   Thomas A. Edison

(As long as you’re trying something a little bit different each time.  Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome, is one of the descriptions of insanity.  I think that comes from the other “Big E”, Albert Einstein.  Does the above Cryptoquote sound familiar though?  It kind of does to me.  Be Well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.  The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”   —   Thomas Edison

(Assuming you’re altering your approach to the problem a bit, sure.  Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result, doesn’t exactly make you the brightest bulb.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.  The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”   —   Thomas A. Edison

(Hopefully, he means trying something just a little different each time!  Trying the exact same thing,  over and over again, and expecting a different result?  Well, that’s like . . . writing a daily blog.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”   —   Thomas A. Edison

(Tell me about it.  I was this close to achieving my life’s dream when . . . BAM!  Salma Hayek’s people served me up that restraining order!  Bummer.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge.”   —   Thomas Alva Edison

(We might be close!  With 3-D printing, using various genetic material . . . we might be able to duplicate a blade of grass.  Hey, they can grow a human ear on the back of a lab rat these days!  Give me the natural stuff though!  No GMOs for me!  Nature rules, baby!  Be well and do good, friend.)   —   YUR

“I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.”   —   Thomas A. Edison

(Yeah, but when he made this statement he was likely wealthy enough to buy a few kings of the world!  Edison wasn’t born poor, but not exactly rich either.  He did his fair share of labor though, during his life, before becoming incredibly wealthy.  He knew that people who worked for a living possessed a certain kind of genuineness that money just can’t buy.  Be well, do good . . . and be genuine, friends.)   —   YUR
