Thomas Edison was fired from his job at Western Union after accidentally spilling sulfuric acid, which led to a fire in the office. The incident was a result of him working on experiments late at night while dealing with sleep deprivation and stress. His termination ultimately pushed him to focus on inventing full-time.
