We tried to teach a nearly three-year-old to play jacks. She was eager to learn, but on her first try, the ball bounced on a jack and shot off to the side. The little girl flopped over and cried, “oh, I just can’t do it.” Nothing would persuade her to try again.
You simply must try again, as I’m sure she will. She may be the first Olympic jacks gold medallist someday. She will learn, as Thomas Edison did, to try, try again.
"Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the genius! 
I've failed my way to success,"
Edison ended up with 1,093 US patents, but those were pulled from a pile of failed attempts and bad ideas. His first patent was for an electric vote recording machine, which was refused because it was politically incorrect – it counted votes so fast that the minority party would not have time to “influence and hopefully change the opinions of colleagues.”
From that experience,
If you fail, try again. Don’t keep doing the same wrong thing over and over, but figure out a different way and try again.
