“The ubiquitous wd-40 lubricant got its name because the first 39 experiments failed. It stands for water displacement 40th attempt” – Fast company article
In these words I find great comfort and advice. Most of us expect success too quickly. We almost expect it to happen on our first attempt. We will settle if it occurs on our second, third or fourth. But after that we will look around so as to assure we are not making a fool of ourselves before making any additional attempts.
Unfortunately most often we tend to stop too quickly. We just give up. But as the story teaches us some things take a little while to perfect. In an early post I told the story of how Colonel Sanders got over a thousand rejections before getting a deal for his secret recipe.
Today’s question is:
“Could you stomach 40 failures before success strikes?”P.S. THANKS for 600 days of support
