Summary

This quote by Thomas Edison emphasizes a positive perspective on failure. It suggests that rather than seeing failures as ultimate defeats, they should be viewed as valuable learning experiences. Edison implies that he has not failed in his endeavors; instead, he has simply discovered numerous methods that do not yield the desired results. This viewpoint encourages individuals to approach failures with resilience and perseverance, recognizing them as stepping stones towards success rather than reasons to give up. It promotes an attitude of constant experimentation, growth, and continuous improvement.

In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.
