The key to superhuman persistence – Broad Ramifications of goal
Much has been said about how Thomas Edison (not the Hong Kong Edison) tried and failed 10 000 times before finally inventing the electric light bulb. But little is said of how he ever got such superhuman persistence in pursuing the invention of the electric light bulb.
I was amazed by the ingenuity of the world greatest inventor in achieving his goals that I have to tell readers of this blog here about this wonderful technique in improving and bettering your business and financial life by increasing your persistence by more than 10 times over.
It is mentioned in his personal written journals that for every single invention, he lists out all the consequences of inventing that particular physical object and/or processes so that the consequences of not achieving it is seriously etched in his mind.
For an idea of what Thomas Edison listing out of broad ramifications means and how it leads to superhuman persistence, please follow this link to the page in Google Books. Type “broad ramifications ” in the search in this book box at the top right hand corner. It is on page 185 of the book Mentored by a Millionaire. I cannot reproduce them here due to copyright issues.
Enumeration means making a detailed account of each thing. Broad means involving various aspects and ramifications simply means consequences.
Simply stated, Edison techniques in helping him to never give up is making a detailed account of each aspects that he will gain (or lost) and the resulting effects should he fail to achieve it.
The power of this utter simple technique is that Edison DO NOT invents the electric light bulb for the sake of selling 20 light bulbs. If he wants to sell something only, he may as well join some network marketing organizations.
The electric light bulb is just only a springboard for creating an electric power system. After which, he can invent many more and sell countless electro-mechanical devices that uses the electric power network that is being created.
This sort of creates a loss that is much greater than just giving up the dream itself.
Not coming out with a workable electric light bulb is not just losing a few dollars of sales but the whole billion dollars industry that can only be created if and only if the electric light is being invented. As you can read for yourself in the book mentioned above.
I have always wondered since young about how his superhuman persistence came about as eventually he is still a human. Perhaps this is the answer.
Don’t just absorb the ideas here and do nothing about it. Start doing what the world greatest inventor has done and acquire superhuman persistence to achieve your financial freedom dreams today.

The response level to local and national disasters is noble but it’s a damn shame that so many citizens take advantage of the negative situations.
I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill – there’s always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.
This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys “angels” got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them!

Greetings…
Discussions on the earths temperature increase – or global warming are generally too scientific to participate in – however, earthquakes and mass death should not be disregarded as another statistic. We’re talking about people, just like you and me.
