When Edison invented the electric light, he and his assistant tried more than 1,000 materials repeatedly in order to find a suitable material for the filament, but all of them failed. His assistant was so discouraged that he wanted to give up on the project, so he said to Edison, "Sir, we have failed more than a thousand times.
It seems hopeless. Dickon smiled, "No, I don't think it's a failure, on the contrary, we have succeeded in finding more than a thousand materials that are not suitable for filament."
Even if we hadn't invented the electric light, future generations could have been inspired by our explorations and have taken a thousand detours to finally invent the electric light. Later, after a year of hard work by Edison and his assistants, they finally found tungsten filament and invented the electric light. This story is very inspiring to us.
Edison recognized the value of the work he did, and did not care about temporary fame and fortune, but based on the benefit of the public, and dared to be a ladder. This laid the foundation for Edison's lifelong success. He confronts failure positively.
Many times, it is not the failure itself that is terrible, but that we do not treat failure correctly and eventually lose confidence, so that it leads to greater failure, and so vicious circle, maybe we will spend our lives in mediocrity.
