It was a cold December night in
West Orange, New Jersey. Thomas Edison's factory was humming with activity. Work
was proceeding on a variety of fronts as the great inventor was trying to turn
more of his dreams into practical realities.
Edison's plant, made of concrete and steel, was deemed "fireproof". As you may
have already guessed, it wasn't!
On that frigid night in 1914, the sky was lit up by a sensational blaze that had
burst through the plant roof. Edison's 24-year-old son, Charles, made a frenzied
search for his famous inventor-father.
When he finally found him, he was watching the fire. His white hair was blowing
in the wind. His face was illuminated by the leaping flames. "My heart ached for
him," said Charles. "Here he was, 67 years old, and everything he had worked for
was going up in flames.
When he saw me, he shouted, 'Charles! Where's your mother?' When I told him I
didn't know, he said, 'Find her! Bring her here! She'll never see anything like
this as long as she lives.'"
Next morning, Mr. Edison looked at the ruins of his factory and said this of his
loss: "There's value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God, we
can start anew."
What a wonderful perspective on things that seem at first to be so disastrous. A
business failure, divorce, personal dream gone sour . . . whether these things
destroy an individual depends largely on the attitude he or she takes toward
them.
Sort out why it happened, and learn something from the blunders. Think of
different approaches that can be taken.
Do or can we create such positivety in our LIFE? Because of his such Faith,
Believe, Determination and Positve Thinking now the whole WOLRD is Lightened. He
invented the BULB.
