Comments on: Setbacks don’t have to be stopping points http://www.bluntmoney.com/setbacks-dont-have-to-be-stopping-points/ Wed, 12 Oct 2011 07:20:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Writer's Coin http://www.bluntmoney.com/setbacks-dont-have-to-be-stopping-points/comment-page-1/#comment-46115 Writer's Coin Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:58:07 +0000 http://www.bluntmoney.com/setbacks-dont-have-to-be-stopping-points/#comment-46115 This reminds me of writers submitting their stories/novels to be published. More times than not, the people that get their work published are the ones that have a system and don't get discouraged. Talent has something to do with it, but it's persistence that eventually pays off. Some writers hate to think that someone with an excel spreadsheet and unlimited persistence will get published before them (what with their incredible talent), but that's exactly how it works out. One more thing: not succeeding right away gives you a chance to put your creativity to work. How can you solve this problem? How many possible solutions can you come up with? Etc.

Everything is a setback until you succeed. They are annoying, though. Setbacks are great learning experiences.

We take a look at what we did and learn from the mistakes to improve on the future decisions we can make. Agree, setbacks are a way to educate ourselves.

Inventing the light bulb is just a 2,000 step process. I read a quote from Thomas Edison that said something like: I didn’t fail 2,000 times before inventing the light bulb.
