To believe is to disagree in all other measures.

“Why don’t you try the simpler way?”
“No, okay, that can’t be it. You have to believe me, this will work.”
“You’re delusional.”
“No, I’m not! It sounds crazy, but it’ll work, trust me.”

To believe is to blindly try.

“Why are you doing this? It will never work.”
“Just you watch. Okay, see, let me example it now…”
“Ha! It didn’t work.”
“What happened? How did it…?”
“I’m telling you, give up now.”

To believe is to attempt again against all odds.

“Hey! Wait, I got it working again!”
“Oh really?”
“Yes, come and see!”
“Um, no.”
“What? Why not?”
“I don’t believe you. You attempt at a crazy idea, watch it fail, and then decide to try again? Nothing will change, you’re just wasting your time.”

To believe is to stand alone….

“Hmph! Well, if nobody believes I can do it, I’ll just have to prove them wrong. By myself, if I must!”

…but united.

“Um, sir? I heard you were looking for an assistant.”
“Go away, boy. You must think I’m crazy to attempt this, just like everybody else.”
“But, that’s the thing. I don’t.”
“Wha…You know what? Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. You’re hired.”

To believe is to fail.

“Assistant! What experiment is this?”
“Number 568, sir.”
“Great, we’re doing just fine on time. Hand me another beaker!”

To believe is to live for that final moment.

“Oh my sweet lord. Assistant, look at this!”
“What is, sir?”
“Watch…connect those two wires, pronto.”
“Sir…sir, you did it!”
“That I did, that I did. Go get somebody, anybody. I have to prove this.”

To believe….

“Well then, it looks like you proved me wrong, Thomas. Who knew you could capture light in a glass bulb?”
“Aren’t you happy now that I didn’t result to the ‘simpler way’ of lighting a candle?”
“Yes, I am.”

“Dr. Edison, sir, the next group of people are here to see the magical effects of the ‘light bulb’.”
“Well, then, Assistant, let’s give them a show!”

….is to succeed.

I'm not really sure where this came from, I just spat it out and thought it was pretty good.

I was supposed to put up something today, but I forgot what and am too tired to rack my brain.

This is a dedication to Thomas Edison, if you didn't pick up on that.

For some reason I feel the need to put a license on this so some kid won't use it as thier homework. o-O



Edit; Random thing I found out; Thomas Edison did, in fact, do about 2000 expiraments to find out the correct way.



His qoute; "I didn't fail 2000 times. All I did was figure out 2000 ways not to make a light bulb."

How's that for inspirational?
