I feel this comment a lot, because I wake up on the daily thinking, if this is all life has to offer me, I don’t think I want it. I have no plans or intentions of doing so, but I get it. If I’ve learned anything about being miserable all the time, it’s this; you make your own mood everyday. You decide if you want to be hyper active crazy and silly all day of if you want to have a scowl on your face all day. If you hate your job genuinely or you hate the pay you make. Start looking at Glassdoor and indeed. There’s jobs everywhere. I just recently changed career directions from us contractor work for the govt back into the direction of collision repair. Start applying for places you like, and go from there. Apply for everything your curious ahout because, fuck it dude why not?

Name one of his "invention". Eddison never have his own invention. All are "commision" and he took the credit, burying the original inventor in legal

These people always bring up Edison failings with x-ray as if Marie Curie didn't exist. Her notebooks are still a health hazard! They're kept in lead boxes! If Edison was a failure, then so was Nobel prize winner Marie Curie.

I love doing this, its a small act of love towards yourself and it helps in doing things you are not particularly motivated for because you aren't doing it for yourself, your doing it "for someone else". Great for creating positive habits! Just remember to thank past self!

There is no myth, he was a gifted inventor. People are "learning" nonsence from clickbait articles and 4chan memes. Tesla himself attested to it I'm his autobiography:

>"The meeting with Edison was a memorable event in my life. I was amazed at this wonderful man who, without early advantages and scientific training, had accomplished so much."

Was he perfect?! No! When you live for 70 years and spent most of that time in influence positions in society, of course you're going to have missteps, mistakes, and even some shady dealings. But whatever else Edison was, he certianly was a brilliant tinkerer.

If you're still not convinced, let me ask you this: if he never invented his own things, where did he get the money to buy out everyone else's Inventions? He didn't come from money. He was a telegraph technician ffs.

All Edison did was wait for other peoples patents to expire and when people didn't renew them, like tesla who figured everyone should have free reign of his patents, would buy them up and repatent them.
