The Struggle to Succeed

Hi world,

It was said in an earlier post that we are a new enough company to get excited about things we know will become old hat. We are also new enough to be learning with every step we take. Edison famously quipped “I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” The non-failure of Edison is the non-failure of every entrepreneur, every startup company. Staying positive and learning from missteps can be taxing at times, but consistently works to better the company's status and morale.

Wildest rollercoaster ever.

When faced with challenges, it is easy to tell you, world, that we will stay upbeat and optimistic, but behind closed doors it is harder to maintain. There are bumps and grooves in every road and we understand that. It is, in the end, all a matter of perspective. After all, Japan's melody roads are just made of bumps and grooves.

So in the spirit of looking at things with a positive spin, Edison also famously said “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Well, that seems fair because we're working up a sweat!

So, entrepreneurs of the world, what do you do to stay positive?  Leave your comments and positive thoughts below.
