If I can't do a move I merely accept that I haven't discovered the right sequence, instead of trying the same sequence over and over or just quitting.

When Marconi suggested the possibility of wireless transmission of sound (the radio),he was committed to a mental institution. But people like Lincoln, Edison, and Marconi were strongly motivated.
