“Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
— Napoleon Hill

Simplified Meaning:
Even though Edison stumbled 10,000 times before inventing the electric light, he didn’t give up, and that’s a lesson for us. Failure is a part of achieving something big or new; it doesn’t mean you won’t succeed eventually. Think about learning to ride a bike—you might fall many times, but each fall teaches you something important until you finally balance and ride smoothly. This idea encourages us to keep going, even when things are tough or when we don’t succeed right away. When we don't let failure stop us, we build perseverance and determination, which are key to reaching our goals. So, if you fail at something, remember Edison’s journey and try again, using each failure as a lesson to get better.
