Renowned Inventor Thomas Edison famously said, \u201cI haven\u2019t failed. I\u2019ve just found 10,000 ways<\/strong> that won\u2019t work.\u201d Failure is part of Invention success, as mistakes are a way to Innovation<\/strong><\/em>. If your first (or 10th) invention has \u201cfailed,\u201d don\u2019t fret. Many famous inventors before you have failed in their invention attempts, and later created products beloved the world over.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cFluke\u201d inventions have resulted in important advances in science, technology, medicine and more. Sir Alexander Fleming made attempts to find a \u201cwonder drug\u201d that provided a disease cure-all, and noticed unusual fungus growing in a discarded petri dish. The fungus dissolved the bacteria growing around it, and this accidental discovery was penicillin. Hotel chef George Crum created potato chips in 1853 after trying to trick a cranky guest complaining of his fried potato slices. Much to Crum\u2019s surprise, the guest loved the thin, heavily-salted creation, resulting in one of the most popular snack foods of all time.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n These and plenty of other examples demonstrate how failure, or even trying to fail, leads to amazing inventions. As Edison noted, failures are \u201cpivotal moments\u201d that put you on a different path–\u201da path to a better place<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n Read: Richest Technology Entrepreneurs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n If failure and rejection<\/span> aren\u2019t things you can easily deal with, you\u2019re in the wrong line of work! Any successful inventor<\/span> will tell you rejection and total failure are part of the process, and training your mind to think outside the proverbial box will help you create something successful. Think about why your invention failed and what can be done to improve it. You might come up with something completely different, or have a brand-new idea for an invention that\u2019s destined to change the market<\/strong>.<\/p>\nFailed Invention Lead to a Successful Invention<\/h2>\n
