  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and let's dive into today's
• 0:13
  quote from Thomas Edison, who tested thousands of materials
• 0:18
  before finding the right filament for the light bulb.
• 0:22
  He once said our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
• 0:28
  The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more
• 0:33
  time. Just one more time.
• 0:38
  Not ten more. Not 100 more.
• 0:41
  Just one more. Edison isn't asking for heroic
• 0:45
  persistence. He's asking for one additional
• 0:49
  attempt. Think about what he's saying.
• 0:52
  The most certain way to succeed isn't talent, isn't luck, isn't
• 0:58
  genius. It's trying one more time than
• 1:01
  you think you can. Most people quit right before
• 1:05
  the breakthrough. They try, they fail, they try
• 1:09
  again, they fail again, and then they decide they've tried
• 1:14
  enough. But Edison's telling us that's
• 1:17
  exactly what you need to try once more.
• 1:20
  He tested over 3000 materials before finding the right element
• 1:25
  for the light bulb. Imagine if he stopped at 2999.
• 1:32
  The world would have stayed in the dark a little longer.
• 1:36
  The difference between failure and success often is an ability.
• 1:41
  It's just one more attempt. Here's why this works.
• 1:46
  When you're at the point of giving up, you've already
• 1:49
  learned everything that didn't work.
• 1:51
  You've eliminated thousands of wrong answers.
• 1:56
  You're closer to the solution than you've ever been.
• 2:01
  That's the worst time to quit. That's when one more try has the
• 2:05
  highest chance of succeeding. But it's also when it feels
• 2:10
  hardest. When you're tired, when you're
• 2:14
  discouraged. When you've already failed so
• 2:17
  many times that trying to gain feels pointless, Edison
• 2:23
  understands that. He's not saying it's easy, he's
• 2:27
  saying it's necessary. Just one more time.
• 2:32
  Because giving up is guaranteed failure.
• 2:35
  But trying one more time? That's the most certain path to
• 2:39
  success. So here's the question.
• 2:43
  What are you about to give up on?
• 2:46
  And what would happen if you tried just one more time?
• 2:51
  Not ten, more, not forever, just once more.
• 2:56
  Because our greatest weakness is giving up.
• 2:59
  And the solution is simpler than you think.
• 3:03
  One more time. That's it for today.
• 3:09
  I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 3:14
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 3:20
  with another daily quote.
