In 1879, a scruffy inventor in a New Jersey laboratory carbonized a simple cotton thread, sealed it in a glass bulb, and watched it glow for thirteen hours straight. That moment didn't just birth the light bulb-it announced the arrival of a man who would reshape civilization itself. Thomas Edison wasn't born brilliant. He was kicked out of school after three months, labeled "addled" by a teacher who couldn't grasp his restless curiosity. Yet this supposedly slow child would go on to hold 1,093 patents and create industries that didn't exist before he imagined them. What made Edison extraordinary wasn't genius in the traditional sense-it was something far more accessible and, frankly, more inspiring: an almost superhuman capacity for work married to an unshakeable belief that problems were just puzzles waiting to be solved.
