February 11 Thomas Edison’s Birthday

On February 11, we honor Thomas Edison, a brilliant inventor whose journey was marked by resilience and tenacity. Overcame labels of being "too stupid to learn" and faced numerous failures in his quest to invent the light bulb, Edison stated, "I have not failed... I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." His words resonate with the importance of determination: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." This tribute serves as a reminder that success often comes after countless efforts and belief in one's capabilities.
