gradually build up our self-esteem.

42. Edison patented his first invention, an electric vote-recording machine, at age 21.
Thomas’s goal was to produce a new invention every ten days, and during one four-
year period, he averaged a new patent every five days. His lab was so prolific that
he was nicknamed the “Wizard of Menlo Park.”
Edison’s laboratory invented such things as the phonograph, the motion picture,
and the incandescent light bulb. Eventually, his electric business became known as
the General Electric Company.
