10 of Donald Trump's businesses that failed horribly
"To test that claim, The New York Times analyzed 61 of Donald Trump's projects from the 2000s to 2012, scouring archived web pages, old press releases, and lawsuits to see if they were in fact good business.
The reporters concluded that 24 of those deals failed"
Proof that failure leads to success. Even though I don't like the man for what he has done to women, I respect his accomplishments, drive and determination to succeed
As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb.
When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "
I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
They Did Not Give Up
Actually, Edison didn't even do that much. He did not invent the light bulb. Others had already made them, all Edison did was experiment until he found a filament type and design that burned long enough to make it a commercially viable product to sell commercially. Edison was only after the money. And the greatest irony? The bulb found its greatest application in the AC system that he had bitterly opposed.
Don't believe a WORD you write. Is it so hard to provide a link? To substantiate? Too many times people write shit that they don't really understand!
Give me the links and then I might believe you!
What, are you too fucking stupid to have seen like maybe a HUNDRED TV programs over the years documenting this?
Too fucking lazy to go research it for yourself on the web? Took me all of 5 seconds to find this:

Edison was a hack. Just as Marconi took credit for inventing the radio when really Nikola Tesla came up with it first, just as Alfred Russel Wallace really came out with a feasible, provable theory of evolution and natural selection which Darwin then took his letter about it and on the urging of two friends, published it as part of his own work without Wallace's knowledge or approval putting his (Darwin's) name first (which became known for decades as the Darwin-Wallace Theory until eventually, they slowly erased Wallace's name and they dropped mention of Wallace altogether), Edison was a hack and you've been lied to all your life---- Edison for the most part took other people's ideas, found ways to commercialize them for personal gain (including getting Tesla to fix the design of his DC generators then refusing to pay him the money promised), and took all the credit for them.
