A quote from young people to boldly do; but in an an associate of Edison relays the attitude and determination age of social media, smart phones he possessed: ‘This [the research] had been going on more than five months, seven days a week, when I was called down and instant gratification it can be to the laboratory to see him [Edison]. I found him at a bench easy to think that success comes about three feet wide and twelve feet long, on which there quickly, with very little effort, or by were hundreds of little test cells that had been made up by luck. It is important to remember that his corps of chemists and experimenters.

In view of this immense amount of thought and labor, my the technological wave throughout sympathy got the better of my judgment, and I said: ‘Isn’t it their life it is important for us to a shame that with the tremendous amount of work you have remind this generation that following done you haven’t been able to get any results?’ Edison turned a dream is not easy and requires on me like a flash, and with a smile replied: ‘Results! Why, determination and effort. man, I have gotten lots of results! I know several thousand things that won’t work!’ Our First VIII rowers and our Firsts hockey team both achieved great premierships again this year – these achievements didn’t happen by accident. This success didn’t happen in an instant; this success reflected a culmination of daily effort and choices over many thousands of hours. These boys, supported by their coaches and families, put in huge amounts of work and effort. They endured setbacks, pain, injuries, and serious discomfort; they shed blood, sweat and tears in the pursuit of their dream and it was only through determination, incredibly hard work, and unwavering support of each other that they managed to achieve their dreams.
