Thomas Alva Edison believed that inventing useful products offered everyone the opportunity for fame and fortune while benefiting a society.

Thomas Alva Edison used to say, “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” 

When his mother could not longer stand the smell of his chemistry lab, Edison took a job as a train boy on the Grand Trunk Railway and established a new lab in an empty freight car.

At the age of 12 Edison began printing a weekly newspaper, which he called The Grand Trunk Tribune.

While working at the telegraph, he began developing a telegraphic repeating mechanism that made it possible to transmit messages automatically.

In the late 1870s being supported by leading financiers, Edison established the Edison Electric Light Company.
