I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb.”

Then, back in his bedroom at night, he practiced. One day while Les was at the station an opportunity presented itself and he was ready. He blew away the audience and the station manager.
“It’s better to be prepared for an opportunity, and not have one than to have one and not be Prepared” – Les Brown
