Among his many great inventions, the most familiar to us is the electric light. From this invention alone, we can get a glimpse of Edison's impact on the world. It can be said that Edison was a person who changed the world.

For a genius like Edison, what he said about genius is very convincing. But what we know about Edison: "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." This famous saying is not complete. There is another sentence after it, which is very important.

Edison’s original sentence is: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but that one percent inspiration is often worse than ninety-nine percent Sweat is important."

In 1854, something happened that had a great impact on his development. The railway along the south shore of Lake Erie was opened to traffic. The merchant ship business on the Milan Canal dropped sharply, and Edison's father's business could no longer be maintained. Because the family's life became increasingly difficult, in order to find another development, the Edison family moved away. They left Milan and moved to Grady, a northern suburb of Port Huron, Michigan. Edison started a new life in Altburg and soon after moving to his new home, Edison contracted scarlet fever.

In 1855, he started school. There was only one class in that school, and the principal and teacher were both Mr. Engel. Because Edison had an inquisitive nature, he often asked the teacher some unusual questions during class (such as: How is the wind produced? Why does one plus one equal two instead of four). In just three months, he was dismissed by the teacher as Kicked out of school in the name of "imbecile".
