"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work."
- Thomas A.Edison
This phenomenal quote by Thomas Edison, is not only the philosophy he adopted for the invention of the light bulb, but is also a philosophy of life. You should keep trying and treat failure as a way of how things cannot be done.
Between the years 1878 to 1880, Edison and his team of associates worked on at least 3000 different theories to develop an efficient incandescent light bulb. Hard work always pays off, and he got his first break through in the year 1879 at his laboratory in Menlo park, where the first high resistance incandescent light was produced. The problem was that this only worked for a few hours, and Edison would need all the persistence and patience he had developed over the years, for making the invention feasible.
After trying more than 6000 vegetable growths and using innumerable substitutes for the filament, the break-through was made, while using a carbonized cotton thread filament. And by 1880 he had produced a 16 Watt bulb that could last for 1500 hours.
This is an amazing achievement, especially at the time where there was hardly any technology. There are thousands of great, hard-working and persistent people, who have transformed the world with their inventions and created the platform for the world we have today.
