Do You Know; Thomas Edison didn't fail thousands of times but rather saw his many attempts as steps, famously saying, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work," with different sources citing 1,000 or 10,000 attempts as part of the popular story of his persistence to perfect the commercially viable lightbulb, though records suggest over 1,000 successful patents and many more failed attempts for various inventions. He didn't invent the first light, but he developed the first practical, long-lasting, and affordable incandescent bulb.
