I have an app on my iPad that simply show facts, it has over 200000 facts I think. I wouldn't trust all of them blindly but it's a fun way to pass the time on occasions. Yesterday, I stumbled on this "Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark". Like I said, I'm not sure where they picked their facts but this could explain why he put so much effort in inventing the light bulb! (Not technically the inventor but he's credited of being the inventor for being the first to make an effective and practical light bulb)
Speaking of Thomas Edison and light bulbs, it turns out today's quote is about both! Coincidence? Not at all, I picked the quote this morning.
"I didn't fail, I found 2000 ways how not to do a light bulb"
- Thomas Edison
I find it an interesting way to see life. If you know ways of how not to do something, then you have much better chances of doing it right.
