Failure and Beyond.
Failure and beyond
What is the story about failure? Why have some of the greatest individuals in history failed more time at something then they have succeeded.? There are so many examples we could fail to list them all.
"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" ~ Apple Computer founder Steve Jobs on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his
Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded and Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams." He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math.
These are three of the most prolific individuals in history and they all refused failure. Because of their refusal to accept failure they help society to be what it is today. Because of them we have the theory of relativity. We have the cars we drive everyday. We also have that apple computer you are working on right now.
If you refuse to fail. If you look failure straight in the face and say "Get the heck out of my face, I've got things to do", you will succeed in your endeavors one. Do you have the fortitude to succeed? Well do you? This relates to the riddle we hear when we are kids. What is always in front of you but you can never see? Your future. Good luck and success. Time is not short, only life is.
The following is one of the hardest puzzle in the world. Read and see if you can figure it out. Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no answer; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.
This puzzle will find whether or not you have the ability to stick to something. How long can you work on this puzzle without looking up the answer?

Thank you for this thoughtful blog. I know that someday I will have time to work the puzzle, but probably won't be today! Have a great productive Day!

The word failure should be banned from the dictionary, it's a comparison word, as is perfect and normal!
