Einstein vs. Edison

One night Marc was trying to give me a pep talk about something. He was explaining that I hadn’t failed but had learned a way that it didn’t work. It was like Einstein in inventing the light bulb. He hadn’t failed he had just learned 1,000 ways that it didn’t work. His pep talk worked but probably only because I was laughing so hard that Einstein was now the inventor of the light bulb and not Edison. In Marc’s defense he had just gotten off of a long, hard shift and was very sleep deprived.
