Get Back Up
How many times have you tried something and failed at it? For me it’s numerous times. There are a few good quotes to encourage you to fail again.
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. (Thomas Edison) This was in response to all the ways to create a light bulb that didn’t work. What if we gave up on the 147th try? You may be in the dark.
Fall down seven, Get up eight. In Japanese it is translated nana korobi ya oki. No matter the number of times you fall, get back up.
Some people fall and refuse to try again. Don’t be one of those people. Pick yourself up and try again. LEARN from your mistakes. Push past failure to success.
See what Keith Goodrum had to say about getting back up:

Opps I Goofed
A few days ago I had two different posts about Customer Service and Wendy’s. I was checking my error logs and saw that alot of people were not finding the pages because of the link was wierd. Let me show you how they looked and how to fix them:
Post Titles and Links:
Customer Service- Wendy’s
http://www.samcarrara.com/marketing/customer-service-wendys/
Customer Service- Wendy’s 2
http://www.samcarrara.com/marketing/customer-service-wendy%e2%80%99s-2/
The first one looks fine, but the second looks like awful. For some reason the ‘ threw off the permalink. So what I need to do is change the post’s permalink. In the wordpress admin area I would use this box “Post Slug”:
So instead of having customer-service-wendy%e2%80%99s-2, I would put customer-service-wendys-2. That looks nicer and hopefully will stop errors. So now the link is:
http://www.samcarrara.com/marketing/customer-service-wendys-2/
The other way to fix this is to do it using phpmyadmin directly accessing your database. Use the method above, it’s easier.
How do I run into so many errors? I am taking action and getting things done. You could never have errors, but that means that everything needs to perfect and take months of review. Have errors, they are great learning experiences.
Fail Faster,
