However, that is not enough. You’re going to have to be able to demonstrate an essential quality. This essential quality differentiates those who succeed in life from those who will never succeed.
A good example to study is Thomas Edison.
You’ve probably heard his name before. That’s normal since he is a great inventor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Among Thomas Edison’s notable inventions were the telephone, the phonograph, the filament light bulb, the power station, and the alkaline battery. Founder of General Electric, Thomas Edison filed more than 1,000 patents that revolutionized the world.
Reading these major accomplishments, you must think that Thomas Edison was always on the winning side. You have to imagine that everything was easy for Thomas Edison because he was a genius.
If Thomas Edison was indeed a genius, he owes his success mainly to his perseverance throughout his life. Overflowing with creativity and ingenuity, Thomas Edison spent his time inventing new things.
Thomas Edison saw failure as a positive thing
But for a few great successes that changed the face of humanity, Thomas Edison failed thousands of times. He saw his failures as discoveries:
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
— Thomas Edison
Finding out what wasn’t working automatically brought Thomas Edison closer to what would work next. But to find out what worked, Thomas Edison had to try again.
So someone who succeeds is simply someone who tries one more time by adapting to do things differently.
Every new try you make by changing your approach will be another chance to succeed. So the big difference between successful and unsuccessful people is the ability to persevere over time.
