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.
Nevertheless, Edison did have failures, including his failed support of DC power over AC power, but Edison never let failure stand between him and success. Known as the Wizard of Menlo Park, Edison received over one thousand US patents, the first of which was filed on October 13, 1868, when he was the tender age of 21. Perhaps Edisonâs most famous inventions were the phonograph, motion pictures and the light-bulb.
