His education level is that he only attended elementary school for three months in his life. The teacher was always dumbfounded by his weird questions and even called him a fool in front of his mother. His mother was so angry that he dropped out of school and taught him herself.

Under the guidance of his mother, he read a lot of books and built a small laboratory in the luggage compartment of the train with the money he saved by selling newspapers as a newsboy and continued to do chemical experiments. One day, a chemical fire broke out and almost burned the carriage. The furious conductor threw all his experimental equipment out of the car and slapped him several times, causing him to be deaf for life.

Although he was not well educated, he did not give up and achieved great success with his personal struggle and extraordinary talent. With perseverance, rare enthusiasm and energy, he stood up from thousands of failures, overcame indescribable difficulties, and became an inventor and entrepreneur. From 1869 to 1901 alone, 1,328 invention patents were obtained. In his life, there was a new invention every 15 days on average, so he was known as the "King of Inventions". He devoted himself to science and was indifferent to fame and fortune. When developing electric lights, a reporter said to him: "If you can really make electric lights to replace gas lights, you will definitely make a lot of money." He replied: "If a person works only to accumulate money, it will be difficult for him to get anything else, not even money."

A man who is indifferent to fame and fortune, is good at dealing with adversity and is open-minded. He is Edison.

Only when you dare to face failure and face failure with a correct attitude, without flinching, being depressed, confused, or vulnerable, can you have real hope of success.
