What is the meaning of - I haven't failed I have found 10000 ways that don't work?

Answer 1

Thomas Edison said this when asked what it felt like to fail at making the lightbulb so many times. What he meant was that he did not feel like he failed because in fact, he literally did discover a thousand different ways that a lightbulb cannot be made. Just because he did not achieve his goal of a working lightbulb did not mean he failed, he just found one way not to make the lightbulb he wished to make.

Answer:It means to be determined and don't give up no matter what happens, even if people put you down with thoughts like "That's never work!" or "that's the most stupidest thing I ever heard!"

It means to never give up. E.g. If I want to be a cook, I cook all the time and cook everywhere that gives me opportunities! If I want to be an artist, I'll paint everything that gives me inspiration.

This quote is a positive reminder to never give up no matter what the obstacles are.

Remember, great things don't happen overnight!
