Edison
1. Edison is known as one of the greatest inventors of his time. He invented
a lot of things that it is difficult to say which of his achievements is the greatest. He was an experimenter and practical man more than a theoretician.
2. Edison didnt have any education because he went to school only three months and then he left school because the teacher considered him as a dull boy, so his mother started to teach him at home. The boy loved books and his mother said he had a wonderful memory. When he first visited a public library and saw a lot of shelves with books, he decided that he would read all the books and then he would know everything in the world. He measured the shelf and decided to read a foot of books every week.
