fun-filled lecture about his life, his inventions and the lessons those inventions taught him. Student volunteers join “The Wizard of Menlo Park” onstage to act as his “Insomnia Squad.” Other selected students attempt to solve problems in the audience. All students are involved in this highly interactive presentation.
Mr. Edison's life & inventions will be used to illustrate
THE FOUR LESSONS OF EDISON:
WORK HARD & PLAY HARD!
"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration!"
THERE ARE NO MISTAKES
AS LONG AS YOU LEARN FROM THEM!
"Every wrong attempt discarded is just one more step forward!"
LOOK AT YOUR PROBLEMS FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE!
"I never allow myself to be discouraged under any circumstances!"
FIND SOMETHING YOU LOVE TO DO IN YOUR LIFE
AND THEN MAKE SURE YOU DO IT!
"The only reason I invent is to make money...to go on inventing!"
