Hello Friends,
After conducting 10,000 experiments to invent the light bulb, Thomas Edison famously told a skeptical reporter: "Young man, you do not understand the nature of success and failure. What I have done is successfully identified 10,000 ways that won't work." And, so the story goes, after 10,000 more experiments, Thomas Edison lit up the world. Learn more about this positive mindset in our feature article for October, "Reframing Failure as a Tool for Success."
October is the favorite month for tricksters, those with a sweet tooth, and costume-lovers. To get us in the pumpkin-carving spirit, please enjoy our bonus article for this spookiest of times: "Did You Know? History of the Jack-o'-lantern."
Catch up on my latest favorite book in our special feature for October, "What Is Betty Reading? The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck."
