I Prefer Success (But Only After Failure)

Finding 10,000 Ways that Don’t Work

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work.”
- Thomas Edison
One of my favorite quotes.
Earlier tonight, I was looking through some old files on my hard drive. Listening to some music that I wrote a long time ago and watching some videos of early dance performances. I’m not gonna lie. When I [...]
