What do you think about it?
Hello good people,
Thanks for coming back to my blog.
What's doing on?
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for coming back and became my loyal blogger.
Now, I would like to share with you the extraordinary behavior. This is the fourth part of my study, exactly is Talking about Cross-Cultural Understanding (CCU). So, I want to do that assignment make a blog to share with you about smart people. Yeah, Smart People is related to our topic this time.
Alright,...
Do you know guys,
Hundreds of smart people who are very famous in this world. one of them is what we will discuss is Thomas Alva Edison.Do you know, who was that?
Well, This time we will discuss about Him.
Thomas Alva Edison (born February 11, 1847 - died October 18, 1931 at the age of 84 years) is an inventor and entrepreneur who developed many important equipment. One of them is a light bulb. he was the first person to create a light bulb in the world with 10,000 attempts.
The search for an artificial light source itself had begun long before. In the historical record, there are more than twenty scientists who have examined how to create incandescent light bulbs since the early 19th century. At that time, their findings were not encouraging. The resulting lamp is only able to last a short time and requires a large electric current and high manufacturing costs. This makes incandescent light bulbs still difficult to mass produce.
Then Thomas Alva Edison managed to make an incandescent light bulb that can be lit long enough, 13.5 hours. In fact, a few months later, he improved his findings to be able to survive 1200 hours. On November 4, 1879 he registered his invention with United States patent number 223,898 (validated on January 27, 1880). The patent registered is an electric lamp that uses a piece of carbon or a carbon plate that is twisted and connected by a platinum wire.
This incandescent light bulb has a better level of air emptiness and higher durability so that it can be used in many places. This discovery also encouraged the development of electricity networks to the homes of residents. From that day on, incandescent light bulbs became part of human life. Humans use it for headlights at home, street lighting, flashlights and car lights. The world changes too. Gradually the candles and oil lamps were replaced with incandescent light bulbs.
How many times has Thomas Alva Edison tried?
The invention of an incandescent light bulb is phenomenal and familiar to us. Until now, we often read or heard the teacher, motivator or speaker remembering this discovery event, especially when encouraging others not to give up easily. We often hear sentences like, "How many times did Thomas Alva Edison fail before finding an incandescent light bulb?"
The answer also varies. Some say Thomas Alva Edison tried 999 times. Only on the 1000th time did he succeed. Even on the internet, we can find so many versions, some say 300, 700, 999, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 10,000, even 20,000. It is not clear which is correct.
A contributor in one of the most respected media, Forbes, quoted Thomas Alva Edison's words as follows:
"I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work. "
"I didn't fail 10,000 times. I did not fail once. I managed to prove that there are 10,000 wrong ways. When I know the wrong ways, I will finally find the right way. "
With so many patents produced by Thomas Alva Edison (2332 patents in various inventions), I believe he does not speak literally to make 10,000 times a failure in finding an incandescent light bulb. In fact, I'm not sure he counted exactly how many times he tried. What is clear, he did it with great effort and continual until finally succeeded.
The effort and perseverance of Thomas Alva Edison was not in vain. Now the whole world can enjoy a "longer day" thanks to its invention, although now incandescent light bulbs are being replaced by energy-efficient lamps, and in recent developments LED lights have emerged.
We should be grateful that today we have an artificial light source that makes life easier and more comfortable. The brightly lit world today can make us complacent and forget the importance of this discovery. Maybe we only realized it when the electricity went out. Maybe we should also be grateful that the electricity conditions in Indonesia, which are generally still noisy, actually make us appreciate the work of Thomas Alva Edison even more.

Okay, guys,
Maybe that's all I can share with you. So, moral values that we can take in the information that I share is never do not be afraid to fail if you want to succeed. Try as hard as possible so that you can achieve the goals you want, like Thomas Alva Edison who is tireless in creating light bulbs to light the world. His heart is very noble in humans. this scientist must be worth remembering for his services.
Well, hopefully the information that I convey can be useful for me, you, him, and us.
Don't forget to share information by writing your knowledge in the comments field about scientists you know. Thank you for your attention and thank you for being my loyal blogger. See you on my next blog. Bah bye ...
