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.
Thomas Edison did not try 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb, nor did he labor in a dusty workshop by himself.That's according to David Burkus, author of  The Myths of Creativity , who says America's favorite innovation story may have been the result of a tremendous publicity push.n the case of Edison, Burkus argues that the famous creator didn't invent the light bulb so much as perfect it, with the muscle of a massive publicity machine behind him. Edison's main laboratory, built in a rural New Jersey town called Menlo Park, was famous for generating more than 400 patents in just six years.
