Edison, the Wizard of Menlo Park

Yesterday (11th Feb. 2013) happened to be 166th birth anniversary of Thomas Alva Edison. He was one the greatest inventors of all times and was holding a record 1093 patents during his life time.  Undoubtedly he was a gifted person. All the same his achievements are due to sheer hard work and perseverance. These quotes from him signify his attitude:

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.”

“Restlessness is discontent – and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.”

“I haven’t failed. I have found 10 000 ways that won’t work”
