“There is a story – whether true or myth, it is characteristic of him – that when Thomas Edison was working on improving his first light bulb, he handed a finished bulb to a young helper, who nervously carried it upstairs step by step. At the last moment, the boy dropped it. The whole team had to work another 24 hours to make another bulb. Edison looked around then handed it to the same boy.
