If you want to achieve a goal in your life, you will definitely have a person who inspired you as an example. For me, Thomas Alva Edison, the American inventor has inspired me.
Thomas Alva Edison was born in 11th February, 1847. He was one of 7 children and could hardly speak till he was 4. In school, he was ridiculed by his teachers and often called as dull and abnormal child because he always tried to know the reasons for everything he was taught by them. His mother supported him and often used to tell her neighbors that one day her son would be a great person.
She was right. At 21, Thomas Edison made his first invention, which was electronic voting machine and he was praised by the Mayor for the same. After that, he achieved chain of inventions under his name. He created an 'invention factory' and therefore proved to be a good businessman too.
The most well known inventions are 'gramophone' and 'electric bulb'. The first phrase to be recorded ever and played back was 'Mary had a little lamb'. Total number of inventions in his life are about 1,100.
To conclude, Thomas Edison has inspired me the most by his achievements and sayings. The most inspiring statement he made was that for every unsuccessful attempt, he would say that he has not failed but he found 1000 ways that wouldn't work out.
what inspiration did you get from his life and how did this has helped you to improve yourself.
ReplyDeleteInspiration is his statement that "Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration." Inspiration also that never get discouraged by failures as that is also a success in finding out many ways that would not be successful.
