Quote of the day — Steve Forbes

What’s the difference between us and the people of the Stone Age? Basic difference is: we have more knowledge. That’s the basic difference. Even if you suffer physical catastrophe, tsunamis, wars, if knowledge is not destroyed you can come back again; rebuild and move forward.
And knowledge comes from constant experimentation — what Thomas Edison called trial and error — and that’s why you have to be unafraid of the fact that you will fail from time to time; it’s never a smooth path. […] Failure does not mean nothing good comes from it. Back in the 80’s and 90’s Apple came out with a new product called The Newton — it was a handheld device — it flopped in the marketplace, but the technology in that failure laid the basis for Steve Jobs in the future for the iPad, iPod, iPhone… what we might call a noble failure, learning from what doesn’t work, experimentation, searching.
— Steve Forbes

If you wanna succeed, acquire more knowledge. Keep experimenting and eventually you will succeed. Just learn from your failures and try again.

Are you working on your knowledge and trying again after every failure?

Rethink yourself.
