a way for positive thinking : Hard working

Positive thinking is an idea that we are trying to improve in TEDx khartoum
so this is the part that I am trying to participate with
hard working helps you a lot
being a hard working person gives you a lot of advantages you become a positive thinker how? you know that no matter how much time it takes or how many times you try you will accomplish it at the end
take for example Thomas Edison
he tried to invent the light bulb for a 1000 times and failed but because he was hard working he tried for more and succeeded
and when a reporter asked him "how dose it feel to fail 1000 times "
he said " i did not fail 1000 times the light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps "
so please be a positive thinker , work hard , and I am sure you will succeed

  • Apr 2 2012: This is so true! It is about effort too, and the need to keep going and getting up if you fall! Keeping conversations and brainstorming going, not just through electonics but in person.

    I hope we have many more forward thinkers and conversationalists come out of the next few generations to come, rather than the technological head down with no thoughts of their own types. It is scary to think how a generation who has been curbed b y the use of electronics toput down their devices and actually communicate out loud. I feel it will take the parents to observe their behaviors and take the effort necessary to converse with their kids and keep the conversations alive.

    3 cheers for innovators and forward thinkers!!!!
