Frustration!

I feel that I am advancing quite well here and things are going well. The only real frustrations I have are lack of time to get everything accomplished I set out to do.

I had just written a post about frustration and right when I thought it was getting good something happened to the computer and I lost the whole story!! That is the truth too, in fact it was happening again in Firefox and I shut down and opened Chrome.

The thing is we all experience frustration and a few days ago I saw where someone posted they were so frustrated they were going to quit. I don't have that option once I got started and involved in internet marketing I couldn't get out. I offered the person some words of encouragement and hopefully he will just keep struggling forward.

Everyone has heard that Edison tried to make the light bulb thousands of times and failed but when asked about it Edison replied I didn't fail I just found two thousand ways not to make a light bulb.

Years ago I wanted to write an article about sea urchin diving on Squidoo and didn't know how to make a clickable link. I liked Squidoo because you could click the pictures and explain your story. I believe it is called a hyperlink, but anyway, back then unlike Word Press you had to know the code to be able to write a word like click here and get the link to work. I was really new to computers and it took me almost all weekend to find out how to do it. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work and I couldn't stop until I figured it out.

Of course now a days I know about You Tube, search Engines, and WA and that stupid little code that stumped me for that weekend of no sleep.I did it and my little story was one of the top stories for around 2 years and then one day I went to look for it and they had changed everything and taken it down!!

Now those were just a couple frustrating experiences I had to work through but they taught me one thing. I always try to make copies of the sites I put together and store them in an e-mail somewhere.

Overcome frustration with determination. What about you?
