Replica of Thomas Edison's First Electric |
However hundreds of years ago life wasn't the same. Life was extremely difficult. Communication was a task. Letters took a long time to deliver and the reply took even longer. During day people worked but during the evening they were dependend on candle lamps. There were many problems. But one scientist’s inventions changed the world. His name was Thomas Edison.
He was born in the USA and was known as America’s greatest inventor. Edison invented many things such as the gramophone, motion picture camera and his most important invention was the electric light bulb. Today let me tell you a story about how Edison invented the light bulb. He tried to used different materials for the filament to make the light bulb and he failed 2,000 times. All these materials failed to create the bulb.
Edison’s assistant said, “All our hard work is in vain. We wasted our time and have learned nothing. I am not sure if we will ever be successful in making the bulb." Edison replied very confidently, “I know we have failed 2,000 times. Now I have learned that these 2,000 materials can never be used to create the bulb.
Now I can try with other materials. Edison finally found the right material and created the light bulb! Thomas Edison's invention has changed the world forever!
Moral of the Story:
If you want to be successful, first learn from your mistakes. When you learn from your mistakes, you will not repeat them again. This help will you succeed. No matter how many times you fail, never give up! Keep learning and you will succeed!
