| (*) According to legend, it took Thomas Edison 1,000 attempts to invent the light bulb. This means he failed an astonishing 999 times before he reached success. A journalist asked: “Mr. Edison, how did it feel to fail 999 times?” As the story goes, Thomas Edison just smiled and replied: “I have not failed 999 times. I have simply found 999 ways how not to create a light bulb.” |
