“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison
This is my favorite quote because it shows that no matter how difficult anything is its better to not give up because they could’ve been so close to success. Yet they would be unable to realize it. Take Thomas Edison for example, he failed to create the light bulb 1,000 times but he persevered and ended up creating it. One of his famous quotes is “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.“. He probably didn’t realize how close he was to succeeding at making the light bulb and yet he didn’t give up until he succeeded. So in the end it shows that Thomas Edison was a person who did not simply give up, but persevered till they succeeded. I believe that this is a good quote to live by as it is very encouraging and meaningful.
