Finish Strong

I have been very busy the past few days networking around the Wide World Web. I want to make my presence on the internet as large as I possibly can. I can't succeed in my mission of getting the Whitehouse and the Congress to provide full funding for VA Health Care without help. Many I have reached have told me to give it up as the VA will never be fully funded, especially in these hard economic times. I won't give up. It has been reported that Edison failed over 6,000 times before perfecting the first electric light bulb.
On one occasion a young journalist challenged Edison saying to him, "Mr. Edison, why do you keep trying to make light by using electricity when you have failed so many times? Don't you know that gas lights are with us to stay?"
To this Edison replied, "Young man, don't you realize that I have not failed but have successfully discovered six thousand ways that won't work!"
Because Edison believed an electric light was possible, he refused to give up. He tried countless types of material in his search for a filament that would work.
And so it is with me and VA funding. I will continue to try different means to the end. I just watched a video of a man named Nick Vujicic. Nick was born without arms and legs and is a very inspirational speaker. You can view the video below. Now you see why I am so determined. If I quit I am certain I will not succeed. If I keep trying, I have a chance at succeeding. So like Edison I will keep trying and finding ways that don't work until I find the way that works.
