Hit or Miss

Sometimes my approach is like that used by Thomas Edison in his development of the electric light bulb. I try different things, not because I know they will work, but because I don't know what will. The assumption is that I if I explore enough alternatives, eventually, I will discover one with the results I seek. This can be a frustrating and disappointing approach, but I don't know what else to do.

I sometimes become discouraged and feel like I am floundering in desperation.
