In a period of three years, Thomas Edison contemplated over three thousand different theories of how to create the light bulb. When he finally prevailed, he's said to have remarked, "I didn't fail a thousand times; it was an invention with a thousand steps."

Failure lies in writing something off as impossible, not in trying without succeeding.
