The Invisible Mentor

Here are the tweets that I think Thomas Edison would blog about on Twitter:

@Edison I improved on a 50-year old idea to produce a light bulb that worked. What can u improve upon today?

@Edison I had very little formal education, so lack of formal education is no excuse for failure. Persistence pay

@Edison Held 1,093 patents for different inventions, many of which influenced your life

@Edison Don’t be mesmerized with the idea of success. I’ve had some whopping failures, but I’d like 2 think I failed forward 2 success

@Edison As a child I consumed books: The History of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, History of The World, and  The Anatomy of Melancholy

@Edison I’ve been partially deaf since childhood, but I didn’t let that stop me from contributing to the world

@Edison Home schooled by my mom after being kicked out of school. She used 2 b a teacher, & her belief in me, made me believe in myself

@Edison Mentors r key. As a teenager, an inventor allowed me 2 work w/ him in his basement. Started my work in electrical telegraphy there

@Edison Inventors & innovators often build on the work of others. Look at what’s been done b4 and try to perfect it

@Edison I was married twice and had six children
