Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for January 22, 2025

get to know Horace!

over-underachiever…

Pffft! … you’re right, Horace! They don’t even mention the elevators!

Not tell me you failing at horse racing.

I suppose Horace failed the canter exam.

So you have learned a lot from your mistakes… Keep up the good work…!

Failure… and learning from it… can be the path to success. I read in grammar school (dunno if it’s true) that Edison employed 1500 efforts to make a light bulb before he finally discovered the best filament. I know myself, I designed a music device and required 50 attempts (not exactly failures, but not successful either) before I was satisfied with the final result.

The key is to never giving up, never quitting. Unless the concept was obviously a total knee-jerk from the start-out. One needs to learn that as well. ;D

Nothing to brag about Horace! Just try daily to better yourself and maybe MELODY can help you keep on the straight and narrow.

The only way to succeed big is to fail big several times. Unfortunately, poorer people don’t have the resources for more than one big failure. I saw a statistic that the average businessman goes bankrupt at least a couple of times before finding a successful business.

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a d@mn fool about it.” —W. C. Fields

Ain’t that the truth! But don’t forget, Horace: everyone you meet is thinking the exact same thing. It’s part of being us, that’s all.

“In great attempts it is glorious even to fail”. – Bruce Lee
