Hi Kannan, thanks for sharing a book that I have not read yet to me. I’m always on the lookout for great reads!

I’m glad that you like the Stockdale Paradox story.

Have a nice day!

Great article, Evelyn. I think it’s important too that we keep an eye out for our perception of “failure.” I like to think that we get results – wanted results, unwanted results, unexpected results. We can learn something from all of these results … Edison learned 10,000 times how not to get the result he desired.

Blessings,
Andrea

Hi Evelyn – I love these success stories. Persistence really does mean the difference between success and failure. And I believe that choosing something we really love doing makes persistence a whole lot easier.

@Daniel, Barbara, Robert and Jephthah,
Thanks for your lovely feedback. I’m so happy that you like this post! It seems that we can never get enough of reading Thomas Edison’s quotes and success stories, don’t we?

@Tom, what a lovely idea – about having inspirational stories for nightly news! Yes…I like the Hedgehog concept too. Who wouldn’t want to be a hedgehog? To be able to have piercing insight to see through complexity. A hedgehog is good at sieving out what is necessary info and ignoring the rest to make a good decision. You are right…. this principle can be applied to individuals as much as it can for corporations.

Have a lovely weekend,
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,

This is indeed a great article. Sometimes we need to change our perception. Instead of lamenting over failures, we can use failures as stepping stones to success! This is a must read passage if you want to be successful in life!

Imagine how everyone’s lives would be different if the nightly news only consisted of strories like these. This is wonderfully inspiring work. I too love the Stockdale story. We only need the promise of the end of the story to maintain in challeneging situations. That’s enopugh.

Evelyn what did you think of Collin’s hedgehog concept? I love the question. What could you be best in the world at? It also works well for individuals to ask that.
