Thomas Edison

He overcame these obstacles by A. finding the one thing that worked, B. he used the money from the phonograph machine to fund the Light, C. then he thought about a vacuum. D. He thought about trying cotton. After he invented the light bulb he went on to invent 56 or more things. Edison could have been rich when he died but he his money funding his inventions. Edison invented the light bulb, and batteries (aka DC Electricity). Edison’s first invention was a Electrical Vote Recorder. At his first job he made an unbelievable $300 a month. In 1870 he got his first check from the government for his first invention, the check was for a total amount of $40,000. In 1891 he patented a motion picture camera. We watch a lot of movie these days and they still use the camera that he invented.

It means that 99% of your effort is blood sweet and tear, and the 1% is genius. Thomas must have had a lot of that Experience to make that statement about making things. Thomas Edison made the light bulb; he invested his money into it. He was kicked out of school by a teacher that swore that he was retarded. He lost hearing in his ears as time went on from childhood to the day of his death. There is a lot of thing out there about Thomas Edison. Even a Simpson’s episode was about homer trying to beat Thomas Edison at the number of things that he could invent.

A major obstacle that I am currently facing is a major obstacle that every writer gets it is called writers block. The way I am planning to solve this obstacle is by getting a little time to think about things to write about. I will most likely be over it by next year. I need to think of how to get the chapters of my book to be like a chapter in a regular book. When I do that I need to think of other things to write about so I do not leave behind my interest in writing.

In conclusion Perseverance paid off for Thomas Edison, he created the light which was his goal. Perseverance will pay off me by me getting done my book and by starting something other then MOM. Maybe I will re-write DAD. I wrote a lot of books, but I only have the one called A Mother’s Story. My computer crashed at home in the summer. I was awaiting my return to school, because I saved a copy to the server. When I checked it, it was not there because I saved it last year and my folder changed and DAD was not transferred to my tenth grade account folder.
