Yesterday (11^th Feb. 2013) happened to be 166^th birth anniversary of Thomas Alva Edison. He was one the greatest inventors of all times and was holding a record 1093 patents during his life time.  Undoubtedly he was a gifted person. All the same his achievements are due to sheer hard work and perseverance. These quotes from him signify his attitude:

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.”

“Restlessness is discontent – and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.”

“I haven’t failed. I have found 10 000 ways that won’t work”
