This reminded me of a story about Edison and the lightbulb, a story that may not be true. Edison is alleged to have said,
“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”
How true, I know that story, in fact I thought of writing about it, but then I discovered the Wright brothers' story, which was an inspiration, besides being proven (it is not a myth) and is much less known.
It struck me how two brothers with so much curiosity can go so far.
So true. Thank you.
The Wright brothers have inspired me a lot, it is one of the best stories I ever heard from people with curious minds.
Excellent article!
Thank you, David! 🙏 I'm glad to hear that it has inspired you.
