Try, Try Again

Re “Edison’s 2,998 Mistakes,” Commentary, Nov. 1: Please thank author Harold Evans for writing such a motivating article about how we should never give up. Although I can’t really compare myself to the likes of Edison or the Wright brothers, I am going to tape this column to my refrigerator. Then the next time I burn a dinner (number 1,075) I will have proof for my three children that there is no reason to give in to failure! Thank you for giving us hope.
