THOMAS EDISON FROM FAILING IN SCHOOL TO BECOMING AN INVENTOR, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SUCCEED IN LIFE WITHOUT MUCH EDUCATION

Thomas Edison who is one of the great geniuses and inventors of our time was called Addled by one of his first teachers and the word “Addled” actually means that he was mixed up or confused. 

And as a result of this early set back he never finished school and instead he decided to become an inventor and an entrepreneur. 

Thomas Edison is the founder of the company called General Electric which has created very many products that have changed the world.

 Some of the projects that his company has worked on were the phonograph, the motion picture camera and the popular electric light bulb. What lesson do we learn from the story of this great entrepreneur and inventor?  

We do learn that if you do fail in school, it does not mean that you will actually fail in life. People are gifted differently. 

While some people may thrive in the academics, others may be good in music, art, drama and others might just be good and creating and building new things like Thomas Edison was.  

If you have failed in school do not lose heart, it’s just a piece of paper and there is more to like than just a piece of paper.

 You can still succeed and become what you actually dreamt of becoming in life. in simple terms, the measurement of success through exams doesnot work for everyone and may not work for everybody , there are people who are good at things that cannot actually be examined.

 You can become a great artist, a great music artist, a great entrepreneur and many other things without having that piece of paper.  Keep working hard and you will actually get there.
