Hi:
====================
Remember Thomas Edison? Without him we would all be still in the dark. Supposedly, it took him 10,000 attempts to make a working light globe model. What if he gave up?
====================
Very true. It's an example I use often myself. But then again, Edison made 10,000 attempts before he made a working light bulb.
What he didn't do was say;
...I'm going to make a light bulb.
...Oh, well that didn't work.
...Okay, well I'm going to make a radio.
...Oy. That didn't work.
...Well then, I think I'll invent the stereo.
...Oops, that flopped. I think I'll....
See? And that's what people often do. They try something and when it doesn't work, they go try something else, and something else and something else again. And nothing ever works for them because they don't put enough time or effort into it to be good at much of anything.
And yes.... I totally agree. One can be supportive without joining up. "Hey Ned... sounds cool. You test it out and if it really works, I might give it a shot. But for now, I'll wait to see how YOU do with it." heh heh
