On February 11, 1847, the great inventor Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, USA. Edison came from a poor family and relied on his father to make a living by farming.
Edison has been sensitive and eager to learn since he was a child. He will conduct experiments on issues that interest him as long as he has the opportunity. So I made a lot of jokes. When Edison was six years old, it was time for dinner, but he was nowhere to be seen. The parents were very anxious and looked for Edison everywhere. Finally, Edison was found in a neighbor's chicken coop. I saw him lying on the chicken coop, with a few eggs under him, and a lot of grass blades on his body and head. The father was surprised when he saw it and asked: "What are you doing squatting there?" "Shh, be silent. I am hatching chicks." The father was angry and funny after hearing this: "Oh, how could you hatch a chick?" "Come?" Edison still refused to leave, so his father had to drag him home.
At the age of eight, Edison went to school, but his curiosity did not diminish at all and he became a "problem student".
Edison had been at school for less than two weeks when the teacher complained. It turned out that in math class, the teacher taught "1 1 = 2", and the other children followed him obediently. Only Edison refused to read it, and asked the teacher: "Teacher, why 1 1 = 2?" The teacher was asked Gaping. In Chinese class, the teacher taught poems about the moon and stars, but he pestered the teacher and asked: "Why don't the stars and the moon fall?" The teacher couldn't answer these weird questions, so he called Edison a "idiot" "Idiot", even the principal thought that this child would only disrupt the teaching order, so he ordered him to drop out of school. In this way, poor little Edison only went to school for three months.
Fortunately, Edison’s mother was an experienced teacher. She felt that Edison loved to ask questions, which showed that there was nothing wrong with being curious, so she secretly swore in her heart that since the school did not teach him, she would be Edison's teacher herself. As long as she was guided properly, her son might still be a genius. One day, we must surprise those teachers who called Edison "imbecile". After talking and taking action, his mother immediately helped Edison formulate a detailed study plan. His mother's guidance was like a spring breeze, which made Edison's talent and wisdom gush like spring water out of control. A year later, Edison had already read Shakespeare's literary masterpieces and Newton's scientific works.
Edison was obsessed with inventions throughout his life. He successively invented the phonograph, electric light, movie player, etc. From 1896 to 1910, Thomas Edison obtained 1,328 invention patents, with an average of one new invention coming out every ten days. He is a world-famous inventor and a well-deserved king of inventions!
