If the eye of the heart is open, in each atom there will be one hundred secrets.

I’m not sure which blows my mind more: the somewhat stodgy salesman with one of the most incredible opera voices I have ever heard, or the 6-year-old girl with unprecedented poise. No wonder it was so tight in that competition!

What They Don't Teach You In School

Edison ‘failed’ more than ten thousand times before he succeeded in creating the light bulb. As said by Thomas Edison: “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.”

Here is my favorite failure story….

In 1832 he lost his job and was defeated for state legislature.
In 1833 he failed in business.
In 1835 his sweetheart died.
In 1836 he had a nervous breakdown.
In 1838 he was defeated for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In 1843 he was defeated for nomination for Congress.
In 1848 he lost renomination.
In 1849 he was rejected for land officer.
In 1854 he was defeated for U.S. Senate.
In 1856 he was defeated for nomination for Vice President.
In 1858 he was again defeated for U.S. Senate.
In 1860 he was elected President: Mr. Abraham Lincoln.

My motto is: fail as quickly as possible.

Me: I actually run across intelligent male profiles on here on a fairly regular basis, with minimal ferreting.
Me: So why do I feel like I'm one of the only intelligent pof women?
Him: It's because they are still in the "be nice and passive" stage...just a guess. You've seen some of the ones with the boob shots.
Him: Or they are in hiding...
Me: Jeez
Me: I hope they are all in hiding.
Me: I hate to think that the majority of womanhood has been reduced to boob shots and Martha Stewart.
Him: Shiver, shutter and duckies!! I do hope you are correct.
