Edison said: i did not fail 9999 times i just invented 9999 ways how not to make bulb
Future Scientists will say: We didn't fail in making earth a better place. We just got better informed about what all things can destroy earth - atom bombs, plastics, Smoke, CFLs etc.

Edison also said that "For Every Wrong Attempt Discarded Is Another Step Forward."
Are we discarding our wrong attempts at making a world a better place?
Even after knowing about things that have destroyed and are destroying the environment around us, have we been able to discard them?
We say we are growing developing moving ahead....

Undergraduation
In workouts a football player may bench press 300 pounds, even though he may never have to exert anything like that much force in the course of a game. Likewise, if your professors try to make you learn stuff that's more advanced than you'll need in a job, it may not just be because they're academics, detached from the real world. They may be trying to make you lift weights with your brain.
-Paul Graham in his article titled UnderGraduation
Duty before Right

False Belief: A Hindrance to Success
There is a story told of a baby elephant in Tibet tied about the ankle with a rope. The rope would not hold an adult elephant, but it holds the baby tight even as it struggles to free itself. The baby resigns itself to the fact that it cannot move outside of the parameters of the rope, no matter how hard it tries.
Eventually, the elephant reaches adulthood, the same little rope about his ankle. Now, little effort would be required to snap the rope and walk away, but the elephant doesn't even bother to try. He is bound only by his belief that he is unable to escape, which is just as effective as his captors.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old, outdated beliefs that no longer serve us? Have you avoided trying something new because of a limiting belief? Worse, how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limiting beliefs?
