You know when all is finally lost?
It is the moment you give up.
If it took Edison thousands of failures to finally shed light on the whole world, than isn't it acceptable that it may take you and I many tries to get things right too??
NEVER SURRENDER
Edison did not invent the light bulb.
That can be argued he tested over 3000 bulbs to come up with his light bulb. Prior to him, they were not very bright and only lasted about 10 hours. he made them commercially viable by being cheap to make and lasted about 1200 hours. without Edison we might still be using gas lanterns to say he didn't invent the bulb is like saying the Wright brothers invented a 747.

In fact, with such an effective strategy, you don't even have to be very talented or cunning. I'm not.
You don't even really need to know much.
Trusting in your intuition and instincts is awfully useful in all battles. It often is the decisive factor in the outcome.
I didnt say he was the first to invent a lightbulb
