I never did anything worth doing by
accident, nor did any of my inventions come about totally by accident; they came by hard
work.... If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound
ourselves... Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration....
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
- from Thomas Edison's Home Page
On this scrapbook page...The year is 1912. It is the year you are twelve. There is a death in the family. You realize that now is the time to think about your own future. There are great things happening in the world. Scrapbook home
