A Chance to Start Over.

It was a cold December night in West Orange, New Jersey. Thomas Edison's
factory was humming with activity. Work was proceeding on a variety of
fronts as the great inventor was trying to turn more of his dreams into
practical realities. Edison's plant, made of concrete and steel, was
deemed "fireproof". As you may have already guessed, it wasn't!

On that frigid night in 1914, the sky was lit up by a sensational blaze
that had burst through the plant roof. Edison's 24-year-old son, Charles,
made a frenzied search for his famous inventor-father. When he finally
found him, he was watching the fire. His white hair was blowing in the
wind. His face was illuminated by the leaping flames. "My heart ached
for him," said Charles. "Here he was, 67 years old, and everything he
had worked for was going up in flames. When he saw me, he shouted,
'Charles! Where's your mother?' When I told him I didn't know, he said,
'Find her! Bring her here! She'll never see anything like this as long
as she lives.'"

Next morning, Mr. Edison looked at the ruins of his factory and said this
of his loss: "There's value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up.
Thank God, we can start anew."

What a wonderful perspective on things that seem at first to be so disastrous.
A business failure, divorce, personal dream gone sour . . . whether
these things destroy an individual depends largely on the attitude he or
she takes toward them. Sort out why it happened, and learn something
from the blunders. Think of different approaches that can be taken.

Start over.


What conclusion we will get from this story ?

How a person reacts to the failure and disasters depends on his pespective towards them.


We have to learn from themistakes made in the past analyse whythe mistakes have occured and take care that we should never repeatthem againin future.Andproceed in a different approach next time.


To be precise i would conclude in single sentence that

Re: A true story of Thomas Edison’s

Edison is credited with creating both the first industrial research lab and the electric light bulb. The research lab was the first institution set up with the purpose of producing constant innovation and technological improvement. But he didn’t stop there! Edison is considered to be one of the most innovative inventors in history, holding 1,097 US patents in his name. Other fun facts about Thomas Alva Edison:
  • Edison was a strong supporter of Montessori schools in the United States.
  • While working with Alexander Graham Bell to discover words of greeting, Edison is credited as creating the word "Hello" in the English dictionary. Bell, however, preferred "Ahoy-hoy" as a greeting.
  • Edison was so facinated by Morse Code that he taught it to his girlfriend Mary Stilwell, proposed marriage to her in the code, and nicknamed their first two children "Dot" and "Dash."
A true inventor at heart, Thomas Edison once said, “Genius is about 1% inspiration and 99% percent perspiration.” Teach children about determination and hard work by ordering your copy of this Interactive DVD plus BONUS Resource & Activity Book today!

Life is beautiful for us to give up...
We may encounter blunders in our lives..but these blunder are but trials that
makes us more stronger than we are now. At the end these are the ones that
colors our life.
