Introduction
Persistence in a life is like a masterpiece of art that its beauty radiates and captures the attention of all who behold it. Persistence is the quality that allows someone to continue doing something in spite difficult circumstances or opposition by other people.ÂThe Example of Edison
A successful man: Thomas Edison was a great American Inventor that greatly influenced our society. He invented the microphone, the phonograph, the incandescent light, the storage battery, talking movies, and more than a thousand other things.A steadfast man: When December 1914 had come he had been working for 10 years on a storage battery. Finances were getting low and then tragically a fire broke out and destroyed his work. Fire companies from eight surrounding towns arrived, but were to stop the damage and everything was destroyed. At this time Edison was 67 and he did not have adequate insurance to cover what he lost.
A spirited man: His 24-year old son searched for his father and to his surprise found him calmly watching the fire. The son felt so bad for his father.  Edison then asked his son to bring his mother to him immediately. She will never see anything like this as long as she lives he told his son. The next morning, Edison looked at the ruins and said, “There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew.” Three weeks after the fire, Edison managed to deliver the first phonograph.
