Thomas Edison’s Greatest Mistake & Lessons Learned From It…

Everyone makes mistakes, even the greatest minds in the world. In this video, I’ve chosen to highlight an inventor that’s had much impact on our lives, even decades down the line. His name is Thomas Edison and he’s credited with inventions like the lightbulb, the phonograph, early film and many other useful things. However, there was a point in his life where he became obsessed with a goal which became known as Edison’s Foley. I describe it in this video. Why am I doing this? To poke fun at him? To chop him down to size? No. My aim is for us to see that A) he’s human, just like the rest of us and therefore EACH of us is capable of greatness, B) mistakes can never define your legacy if you choose not to have them define you and C) the lessons you learn from mistakes can propel you towards that greatness you see.
