Thomas Edison...?

Question

do you agree that he didn’t fail 2,000 times to make a filament light bulb and that he just found 2,000 ways not to make a carbon filament light bulb?

or do you think he failed 2000 times in making the light bulb?

ur personal thought please, how do you see it...?

Answer 1

Every failure is a learning experience - I say as long as you have a vision of what you want to accomplish, you're bound to run into it eventually.

It's all about action -

Some people think this is BS, but what if you kept a vision in your mind about something wierd like "I want to meet an alien from another planet"

Sounds pretty impossible right?

Sometimes the end result may not be exact, but it will be close - so the previous stated picture in your mind eventually becomes you finding yourself on a sci-fi movie set meeting aliens. You need to be super specific in how you build your vision.

I'm sure in Edison's case he had seen a prototype lightbulb work in one form or another, it's not like he was the only one working on this at the time. His internal vision was more than likely to make the light blub work a longer period of time so that people could rely on it. He had a knowing in his mind that it could be done.

It's all how you describe it to yourself and how you look back at the end result.

Answer 2

The former is for people unwilling to admit defeat, the latter is for people in touch with reality.
