Who Had 9999 Failures

Who had 9999 failures?

According to a well-known legend, Edison tried 10,000 times before he finally succeeded in perfecting the light bulb, one of the few inventions he only improved rather than invented. He is reported to have said, in response to questions about his failures, I have not failed, rather than I have failed 9,999 times. Before creating the incandescent electric light bulb, Edison tried 10,000 different things and failed. If you mess up once, don’t worry. Thomas Edison, arguably the greatest inventor in American history, had a remarkably optimistic outlook on life, which greatly aided his inventiveness.
