History the stamp represents: To summarize a quote by Theodore Roosevelt, nothing worth having or doing comes easily. When working toward a goal, it can seem like there is a roadblock at every turn. That is what makes achieving ambitions exciting and worth celebrating.
According to a study done at the University of Scranton, 92% of people give up on their goals. A tiny 8% problem-solve around hiccups and hold-ups and persevere until their goal is realized. There are many stories of people who accomplished an extraordinary goal and how they overcame all the roadblocks and failures. Thomas Edison, for example, failed 1,000 times when inventing the light bulb. When asked about his failures, he said he found 1,000 ways not to build a light bulb. There are many others who likewise faced failure and rejections before making headway.
The 2023 Thinking of You stamps can help acknowledge someone’s red-letter day – whether that be a graduation, promotion, or the start of a new job. The USPS made it easy to jazz up an envelope or card with stickers printed on the stamp sheet. “You’re a star,” “Hooray,” or “Congratulations,” among others, could be chosen to make someone feel extra special. Whatever the achievement, it can be fun to join in the celebration.
