Many of his inventions have completely changed the world. For example, I’m writing this article at night without any problem because of the light and electricity. The light bulb was one of his major breakthrough that would change the course of the entire mankind.

Most Admirable Trait

His superior intellects and creativity are the second most admirable traits of his. The first one?
Thomas Edison failed for more than 1000 times before successfully creating the light bulb. Yes, 1000 times! Imagine how we react when we fail twice or thrice, but this man, had the faith and belief in himself. Because of which he didn’t give up.  So, yes, it is his will to never give up that is his most admirable traits of all.

The Begining

Thomas was born on the 11th of February, 1847 in Ohio, United States. In his childhood, he was considered a hyperactive kid and therefore, very “difficult” to handle. When this kid utilized his energy into creating something productive, that was the birth of the Wizard of Menlo Park. Edison was not only intellectual but a very wise man.

Here are some of the words of wisdom by Thomas Edison that are worth living by.

10. “When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven’t.”

That’s the Edison way of saying that there is no limit to what we can imagine and therefore, create. All you have to do is try one more time.

9. “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”

Most people fail to achieve the extraordinary because they don’t hustle. But the only difference between a lump of ordinary coal and diamond is that the latter endured the hustle and pressure exceptionally well.

8. “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are: hard work, stick-to-itiveness, and common sense.”

One needs to work hard to make his dream into reality. But this hard work should be just for a limited period, but must have consistency. And the most basic ingredient which is not so common is common sense. These three together make the perfect recipe to prepare anything worthy.

7. “I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.“

There are no accidents. It’s all a consequence of how a person has acted before.

6. “What you are will show in what you do.“

This is Thomas’ way of saying Action speaks louder than words. We usually reflect our own personality in the work we do.

5. “Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have“

Many times, people think what that their possessions such as a great villa, an expensive car, and other luxuries define their worth. But that’s not what the Legendary inventor thinks. It’s what a person is, how they behave, think and work that defines their worth.

4. “Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.”

Patience is the biggest asset in the journey to success. One must have patience and keep working towards his goal. Everything will eventually come to him.

3. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

Achievements majorly depend on the work rate rather than just the intellect alone. It’s true that one needs proper thoughts and skills, but they are all in vain if one doesn’t work hard to make their proper use.

2. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.“

Every tunnel has light in the end. Which means, success usually comes after the darkest hours. But most people give up in these dark hours due to lack of faith. And that is where we need to hold on.

1. “I never did a day’s work in my life. It was all fun“

This is perhaps the most important thing to live by. One must do what he loves. That’s how you can be sure you will progress. Because, if you love doing it, you will find ways to do it more often. And the more you do it, the higher are your chances to succeed. Therefore, it is very important to do what you love.

In most of the Thomas Edison Quotes, you must have noticed how he spoke about not giving up. One must have the courage to follow his dream. And in that journey, he must have the will to keep trying. It’s this attitude that makes all the difference between a mediocre man and a successful man.
