美國發明家
湯馬士．愛迪生
Thomas Edison
（1847年2月11日－1931年10月18日）美國發明家、商人，擁有眾多重要的發明專利，被傳媒授予「門洛帕克的奇才」稱號的他，是世界上第一個利用大量生產原則和其工業研究實驗室來進行發明創造的人。
天才做的，不是發明產品，而是建立偉大的團隊。
我沒失敗，我只是找到一萬種行不通的方法。
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
生命中許多失敗，都是人們不知道放棄時，他們離成功有多近。
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
動盪就是不滿，而不滿就是進步的首要條件。給我一個完全滿意的人，我會給你一個失敗的案例。
大多數人錯失機會，因為機會穿著連身的工作服，且看似工作。
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
如果你希望成功，當以恒心為良友，以經驗為參謀，以謹慎為兄弟，以希望為哨兵。
If you wish to succeed, you should use persistence as your good friend, experience as your reference, prudence as your brother and hope as your sentry.
坐立不安與不滿是進步的第一要件。
Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.
我們最大的弱點在於放棄，再多嘗試一次，永遠是最接近成功的方法。
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
即便等待也積極做事的人，他能夠擁有一切。
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
保持領先的唯一方法就是實驗，你不做，其他人也會做。沒有實驗就不會進步；停止實驗就會退步。
The only way to keep ahead of the procession is to experiment. If you don't, the other fellow will. When there's no experimentation, there's no progress. Stop experimenting and you go backward.
