working light bulb. “How does it feel to have failed 800 times?” the reporter asked. And Edison’s
answer?
“I haven’t failed 800 times. I haven’t failed once. What I have done, is I have succeeded in proving
that those 800 ways won’t work. Once I eliminate all the ways that won’t work, I will find the one
way that will.”
Several years later, after thousands more “successful proofs” he managed to find a way that
works, and thus illuminated the world.
