"Failure is the most effective technique to..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”

“There's a way to do it better - find it.”

“I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.”

“I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.”

“I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another's company and aid in consultation.”

“By our attitude, we decide to read, or not to read. By our attitude, we decide to try or give up. By our attitude, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we blame others. Our attitude determines whether we tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail.”

“Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.”

“If the topic be highly abstract, show its nature by concrete examples. If it be unfamiliar, trace some point of analogy in it with the known. If it be inhuman, make it figure as part of a story. If it be difficult, couple its acquisition with some prospect of personal gain. Above all things, make sure that it shall run through certain inner changes, since no unvarying object can possibly hold the mental field for long.”

“I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them.”
