Thomas Edison was an American Inventor. He developed many inventions that greatly influenced life around the world. He invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the electric light bulb.
As an inventor, Edison made over 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Never get discouraged if you fail. We must learn five valuable lessons from every mistake.
Edison said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to just try one more time.”
The opportunities of life can be disguised as hard work. This will cause most people not to recognize them. Remember, work hard in silence and let your success be your noise.
Thomas Edison also said, “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.”
