Every 10 days of each of Allen James' Calendar Books holds esteemed quotes by notable individuals which relate to each individual book.  For example, A Teacher's Daily Guide to Success has notable quotes by individuals who have contributed or are contributing to the daily success of  teachers; A Graduate's Daily Guide to Success hold quotes every 10 days which edify high school or college graduates as they embark on their journey to personal success, although much has been attained by completing their education already; A Woman's Daily Guide to Success has....you get the picture. 

Our reading for July 20 falls on one such reading from The Journey: A Calendar Book and is a bit of wisdom from Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light bulb (which has recently been deemed defunct and replaced by the "more efficient" florescent bulbs).  These words I certainly can add no more to.  They speak for themselves.

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."  (Edison, 1877).

Don't give up....if facing adversity in the search for personal success, adjust the road map.  : ) Keep looking up.  AJ

"Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park",^[3] he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.^[4]

"Edison was a prolific inventor, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. More significant than the number of Edison's patents was the widespread impact of his inventions: electric light and power utilities, sound recording, and motion pictures all established major new industries world-wide. Edison's inventions contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures" (Wikipedia, 2014).
