I'm No Expert

    I'm no expert.  In fact by many standards of life, I'm a failure.  That has to be the hardest thing I've ever written... I'm a failure.  But it's true.  I've failed miserably at lots of things.  We all know the sayings " it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, what matters is how many times you get back up" & "it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog".  While we believe these to be true, that makes it no easier to get back up one more time, to fight, even harder. 

    Thomas Edison is said to have failed over 1000 times in attempting to create the light bulb.  Some of you know my past, my failures.  And it may be hard at times for you to absorb some of my posts in general.  Others of you only know my present.  And you may find it hard to imagine some of my "greatest" failures.  Which is why I write this, to say... Yes, I'm no expert.  I, am, a failure.  Even still, none of us knows my future. And while I wouldn't say it's the MOST important of the three, I would say that our futures are the sum of our pasts & our presents, that together they determine what's next.  So know, I share with you from a student's position.  A place of learning.  And as I learn, I can share.

    Edison, that 1000 time plus failure, went on to hold over 1000 US patents in his name as well.  He created many innovative tools that are still relevant.  This failure... still impacts our world today.  I have failed.  I will fail.  But I stand here fighting, for me, and those of you who don't have to fail in the same ways I did.  I can't quit.  So I challenge myself, I challenge you, to be determined, to stand again, to fight for your future and the futures of those that stand beside you.

    How will you combine your past & present to change your future?
