There are several numbers floating around as to the number of attempts it took Edison to invent the light bulb. The truth is that Edison did not invent the first light bulb, but he did invent the first incandescent light that would last and was practical. It took Thomas Edison two years and many failed attempts before he would discover success. It is has been said that he used over 6,000 fibers to light his bulb. A reporter came asked Edison, How many times are you going to fail at creating the light bulb? Mr. Edison replied, Son, I havent failed! Ive simply discovered another way not to invent the light bulb! ~This is truly amazing to me. I think success comes down to being willing to fail again. And again. And again. Just because youve struggled at something in the past doesnt mean that you will never succeed at it. The only true failure is giving up.
