A journalist asked Edison "How did you become such a great scientist?" To which Edison replied, "I don't hear very well, so I don't take anyone's criticism very seriously." Thinking about other people's criticism will indeed reduce thinking about ourselves.
Thomas Alva Edison is the man who made 1063 inventions in his
life and made a miracle for mankind. We know about him very well that he
did not study his schooling and did not go to universities and did not get
degrees but he had more knowledge than educated people even if he did not have
formal education.
The greatest
achievers, winners, and scientists, all have the same habit of reading too many
books. Thomas Alva picked up more than a thousand books and Edison read them.
He kept a library in his research hall.
A person who has read
many books not once but twice and has fully understood them. Although there are
many scientists in the world, Thomas Alva Edison is the scientist who gives the
greatest inspiration to educators.
His biography is so inspiring. Every man's success is
attributed to someone, and Edison's mother, who was a teacher, was the reason
for his greatest success. The only trait that Edison had from his youth was
that of asking questions. Because of his frequent questioning, his teachers
disliked him and it was very difficult to keep him in school, so his schooling
was terminated at a young age.
Home-schooled Edison became his teacher. He simply started
learning from his mother, maybe if Edison had been in school he would have had a
common education because all the students would have had one teacher but at
home, his mother had become his teacher.
This event happened naturally to Edison and this may have
been a reason for Edison to become a great scientist. Sometimes negative things
can be good for us.
Reasons Why Edison Became a Scientist at a Young Age:
At a young age, he was very inquisitive.
He was a thinker at a young age.
He could try anything at a young age.
He was a little different than others in education.
He believed that understanding literacy is better than rote
learning.
If he reads what he reads, he becomes an educator, and when
the question arises as to why we read this, he becomes a scientist.
He didn't think that I should study and get marks and be
appreciated by others, he thought what am I going to do with what I have
studied.
He did not aim to study memorize and write the exam, his
aim was to do research.
Patience and composure were natural to him. He didn't think
much of others making fun of him.
He became an achiever. He did not see insults because
he was completely focused on his research and he did not take the criticism of
others seriously.
