thomas edison
born in america, thomas edison was a great scientist and inventor. he was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. in fact, he was a man full of imagination.
i ad*e edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. he had * than 1,000 inventions. in his lifetime, he was always eager to know how things worked, which *ed him to earn the nickname"the wizard of melo park".he was also so di*t that he worked day and night. and this explained why he had so many great inventions.
what impresses me most is his famous saying,"genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."probably i cannot be an edison myself, but i can be a hard-working learner. from him, i realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
