In Port Huron, Thomas, at the age of eight, began going to school, but he only

the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine he finally succeeded
in his attempt by preparing a bottle in which he placed three wires of carbon,
all of which were shattering until night came when he put the fourth wire,
but this time he emptied the bottle from the air Then he closed it, and then lit
the light inside it to light up the whole world with this invention, and Edison
did not despair of his attempt to light the lamp, and he did not say that his
attempts had failed, but rather said that they were experiments that did not
succeed where he said: (I did not fail, I found 10,000 ways that the lamp
cannot work with it).
“The invention of the electric light required the most
study and the most detailed experimentation.” “I have
never felt so discouraged or the desire to be so
desperate for success.”
