HAPPY BULB DAY

It was on 22nd October, 1879 i.e. around 135 years ago that the great scientist Thomas Alva Edison had invented the light bulb. My heart goes out to salute him simply for conceiving the idea that something can light up too. However, more than the idea, I would like to salute his determination to invent the bulb. As soon as, the idea of inventing the light bulb surfaced in his mind, he entered the laboratory along with his team. And you will not believe, the most essential element, the carbon filament that he was searching for, was discovered after unsuccessfully experimenting with over 6000 various filaments and that too, after continually spending 27 days experimenting in the laboratory... During this period, neither did his enthusiasm abate nor did his confidence shake. And 27 days of concentrated efforts and experiments, finally led to the illumination of the light bulb.

At present, nobody can even imagine life without light. Perhaps for mankind, there can be no boon bigger than the availability of light in darkness. So today, I salute the great Edison on behalf of the whole world and ask you as well to develop the habit of adulating the great works of great men. Given the chance, let gratefulness towards these legends grow within you. Celebrate the birth anniversaries of Buddha, Christ and Krishna; we are indebted to them, but also remember the great individuals from other fields. I promise that Buddha, Krishna and Christ will not feel bad, but on the contrary they will be happy.

And psychologically too, develop the habit of being grateful to great men as it will firstly weaken your ego, secondly, it will motivate you to become great and thirdly, when you adulate these great men with all your heart, you too will begin to imbibe their qualities… So then, why should we limit the sphere of our gratefulness and confine it only to Buddha, Krishna and Christ?
Keep adding names to this list and keep strengthening your foundation to become great.
