Learn from Mistakes 81 comments
Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”
Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

Here thinking between two persons one is positive and the other one in negative , failure and mistakes are common but one should come in such a way to hope for the best from the result and can do it in a better way.

biplab -- 16 Jan 11 at 7:06 am
First we should try. If we don’t succeed , we should find out the reason behind our failure. Then avoid the previous mistakes. This way when we keep on trying, we can at a point of time do that work perfectly without any mistakes.

Hanna -- 22 Feb 12 at 7:02 am
We should never give up on attempting things which we are afraid to do! coz no one in this world born to be perfect… The more failures, the more lessons we learn… That’s life — it makes us more eager to pursue to be right. POSITIVE THOUGHT is the best a person should have! =)
