Damnit! I forgot my Q Moment. So here it is:

 

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time.” -Thomas Edison.

 

Think about that for a moment. 

What does it mean in your life? 

Have you given up on something? 

Have you given up on a job? A hobby? A dream?

Have you given up on someone?

Have you given up on yourself?

 

You never know how close you are until you look back AFTER succeeding. Nothing is impossible in your life. You just have to keep trying.

 

One more take-away from the above. Trying one more time doesn’t necessarily mean trying it the exact same way. After all, Edison figured out 2774 different ways to NOT make a light bulb. 

 

With regard to today’s workout, the PAX are sure of two things:

  1. @razr had a birthday and turned 40 (yesterday)

  2. Jack Webb must have been really hated. 

 

And, in all seriousness, we had a lot of fun. If you are looking for a great beat down routine, check out all of the various “Webbs” on the Exicon, some are even more daunting and will definitely make an appearance future workouts. 🙂

 

After the workout, we headed to Coffeeteria where YHC dispensed the new FNG itty-bidy-cindy to all of the men who had been FNGs at some point. If you have been an FNG before, and don’t have a white itty-bidy-cindy, hit me up at the next workout.
