A brief introduction to Edison's last words
His last words have always been puzzling, and people have never been able to understand what he meant. His last words were both a bit delightful and a bit scary.
Imagining Edison
Edison’s later years were not comfortable. Since 1929, his health had been suffering from various ailments and his health was getting worse. After examination, it was found that he also suffered from diabetes, uremia and other diseases. Later, in October 1931, he died in West Orange. His friends and family were all around him at the time, thinking he had really left them and were feeling very sad about his death. Suddenly, he sat up and said, "I can't believe how beautiful it is over there."
So these words became Edison's last words. The scene at that time was actually quite strange, like a corpse suddenly coming to life. Maybe it's because he is really different from other people in the world, so his last words are also different from others. Many people's last words are about things they can't let go of. Others have said a lot and explained various things, but Edison's words are just an irrelevant statement.
For those who love him, they are happy because of this sentence. According to his last words, he should have gone to where they believed he was. There he can enjoy the beautiful scenery and not get sick. But he also felt a little scared because he suddenly sat up and spoke his last words as his heart stopped beating. It was certainly a strange scene, so he would have been frightened.
Some experts say that in fact, Edison’s last words should be his brain, nerves, etc. He was still awake at the time, so he sat up and spoke out in the moment when there was no heartbeat.
The spirit of inventor Edison
We all know that Edison is a famous inventor in the world. He holds more than a thousand invention patents. It is conceivable that he has made considerable contributions to human society. So what is there in Edison’s spirit worth advocating and learning from?

First of all, Edison’s spirit is to never give up. This spirit is particularly precious. He conducted numerous experiments throughout his life, but thousands of these attempts failed. But even though he failed countless times, and those ideas that many people thought were impossible to achieve were even ridiculed by many, he still worked tirelessly. He believes that failure is not terrible at all. The more failures, the closer you are to success. Edison's spirit of not being afraid of failure and not being able to lose is what we need to learn, whether in a difficult environment or in people's psychological attacks.
In Edison’s spirit, there is also the scientific research spirit of innovation and continuous exploration. He is full of curiosity about everything. The most valuable thing about him is that he is not just curious, but will try his best to satisfy his curiosity. When he shows a strong interest in something, he will continue to verify and explore more valuable things. He cannot be satisfied with the current status quo. He has a spirit of daring to try and seek new things. Things can only be improved and improved through continuous creation and renewal.
Another most valuable thing in the Edison spirit is the ability to pay attention to and utilize the things around you. In life, he can always sensitively observe everything useful around him and apply it in his own experiments. What's more, his spirit of proving knowledge by himself is lacking in current education. Being able to apply what he has learned is the way to go.
In short, Edison’s spirit needs us to learn and carry forward.
Genius inventor Edison
Edison, this is an undisputed name and a fact that no one can deny. But did he really become a genius through talent from beginning to end?
Imagine Edison
No, becoming a genius has never been that simple. Genius cannot rely solely on talent. You also need a lot of things as assistance to retain the talent you have and let your talent grow with you. Only in this way can he become a true genius and go further on the road of genius. Edison was a man who had been on the road to genius for a long time, so what were the factors that made him a genius?
First of all, the necessary factor to become a genius is to have talents that others do not have.
Edison satisfied this point and showed a higher IQ than others since he was a child. According to people's inference, Edison's IQ should be around 160. In terms of IQ classification, a genius is considered to be above 140, so in terms of IQ, Edison's genius is indeed worthy of the name.
Then be sensitive to others. Edison had a pair of eyes that were good at discovering things since he was a child, and he was very sensitive to many things around him. Moreover, he is willing to think and is extremely curious about things he does not understand, so he often asks questions that are different from others. For example, at school, he often asked his teacher questions about how wind is produced. These questions may seem silly, but they are actually basic questions. Thinking and asking questions were the fundamental factors that made him Edison's genius.
Finally, you must have strong mobility. If you are curious, often discover things that others cannot find, and have talents that others do not have, but you do not act, then these will become wasted resources. Edison has strong mobility. He will learn things he doesn't understand and take the initiative to do research.
So Edison’s genius is based on good thinking, good practice and his own talent.
