The story of Thomas Edison the man who lit the world

The story of the invention of the light bulb began with Edison when his mother became severely ill, so the doctor decided to perform an immediate operation for her, but .. there is a problem because it was at night and there was not enough light for the doctor to see what he did in this delicate process, so he had to wait until sunrise To perform the operation !!

Hence the beginning of the invention of the electric lamp, so Edison continued his attempts and insistence on the invention of the electric lamp to the point that he went through more than 99 failed experiments and every time when an experiment failed he would say “This is great .. We have proven that this is also an unsuccessful way to reach the invention. What I dreamed about was not called failed experiments, but rather experiments that did not succeed! And although he did not succeed in a very large number of times, this did not lead him to despair, but continued to try, and in 1879, Edison's lamp lit up the faces with joy with this The great invention, and the bottle lasted 45 hours and Edison told his assistants as long as it was lit for this period, I can light it for a hundred hours!

And the news spread in the newspapers that the magician Edison achieved the miracle and the people were lying and believing, until the great event took place on New Year's Eve in 1879, and continued until dawn on the first day of the year 1880. Edison also had many inventions, but they were less valuable than the electric lamp, so Edison invented A system to generate gasoline and its derivatives from plants to help the United States of America in the First World War, and Thomas also invented a film camera, a printing machine, an electricity meter, a method for enlarging rubber, and many other inventions.

And this great scientist died on October 18, 1938, to leave the world having lit every house in it.

But how did Edison become great ?!

All the greats agreed that the abundance of reading, knowledge and lack of interest in money are what creates scholars and thinkers. Edison says about money, “Money is nothing but a means, not an end”. Therefore, Edison used to spend money buying new machines and trying to buy a larger laboratory to accommodate his inventions, so he had reached the point that he invented a new invention each and when he was only 23 years old, he had registered 122 inventions in his name
