28. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison
Edison is credited with many of the inventions in today’s society, despite the whispers that he never really developed these ideas himself. However, he was a shrewd businessman who knew how to market these inventions so that they could reach a wider audience of consumers.
The path to success is a challenging journey. It feels like you’re never going to get to the end, no matter what you do. This difficulty often leads to some people giving up in the end, not knowing that they were mere inches away from success. If they’d just gone a little further, all of their hard work would have paid off in the end.
