The story goes that Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb. (The story is often told as 5,000 or 10,000 times depending on the version.) When asked about it, Edison allegedly said, I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb.. The idea is that -- even if you try and fail, it doesn't mean that you didn't learn something.
A myriad of business liaisons, partnerships, and corporations occupied Edison, and his legal battles were continuous. He also erred at times -- for instance, when he bet on direct-current (DC) power systems instead of the alternating-current (AC) being touted by George Westinghouse. Yet Edison maintained a positive outlook. Of his failed attempts at the light bulb, he said, They taught something that I didn't know. They taught me what direction to move in.. In tribute to this unique individual, Americans dimmed their electric lights for one minute on October 21, 1931, a few days after his death.
