Dubbed “The Wizard of Menlo Park”, Thomas Alva Edison was Americ’s most well known and prolific inventor. He amassed a record of 1,093 patents that includes the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and his most significant, the light bulb.
Did you know that in search of a filament for the light bulb, Thomas Edison sought and tried thousands of materials before he finally succeeded?
I have not failed 1,000 times. i have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to not make a light bulb.
Once, his assistant complained, “All our hard work is in vain. We have gained nothing.” Thomas Edison replied calmly, “We have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are 2,000 elements that cannot make a good light bulb.”
“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.”
– Thomas Edison
