Historically speaking, October has always been a great month for me. It has always been a time for change and new beginnings... One way to start a new beginning is a Do-Over. Not all do overs are a good idea of course... unless it stems from wanting to be better and succeed at something.
For example:
Thomas Edison executed the first of his 1,093 successful U.S. patent applications on 13 October 1868, at the age of 21. He filed an estimated 500–600 unsuccessful or abandoned applications as well. Every time he tried something that didn't work he would call a Do-Over and try something different. When inventing the electric light bulb he called a Do-Over almost 10,000 times before he was able to stabilize this invention.
I'm no Thomas Edison and I seriously doubt I would ever call a Do-Over 10,000 times however I do believe in the Do-Over principle... If the effort is worth the reward, I say do it, try something different this time and call a Do-Over!
