Belajar dari Thomas Edison

Ada baiknya kita benar-benar mempraktikan dan memelihara kerendahan hati dengan bersedia belajar dari orang yang telah benar-benar berhasil dalam bidangnya. Kita tidak selalu lebih hebat dari orang lain, hayooo siapa yang merasa :))

Semua yang tertulis di bawah ini dilaporkan dinyatakan oleh Thomas Alva Edison (1847 - 1931) :


-
I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun.
-
A genius is a talented person who does his homework.
Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with preparation.
-
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
-
Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
-
Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
-
I start where the last man left off.
-
I am more of a sponge than an inventor. I absorb ideas from every source. My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant but misdirected ideas of others.
-
Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.
-
Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
-
Discontent is the first necessity of progress.
-
Thinking is hard work.
-
There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.
-
There is no substitute for hard work.
-
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
-
Time is really the only capital that any human being has, and the one thing that he can’t afford to lose.
-
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
-
The thing with which I lose patience most is the clock. Its hands move too fast.
-
Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.
-
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
-
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
-
We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything.
-
What you are will show in what you do.
-
The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.
