EDISON’S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS


EDISON’S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS 

You have probably heard of the Microsoft interview and the question they ask perspective employees there (how would you move to mount Fuji ?). We all have our own stories to tell about weird questions at job interview. But have you heard about how Thomas Alva Edison interviewed people who wanted to work with him ? That’s an interesting story there!  

After the initial round of questions, if Edison came across a bright candidate, he would take him out to dinner before making up his mind on whether to hire him. The interview would continue over dinner, and when the food arrived, Edison would take a bite and remark, ‘I think this needs more salt!’ And he would watch the candidate. 

If the candidate added salt before tasting the food he would not be hired. However, if the candidate tasted the food first and then decided if salt needed to be added, Edison would hire him. Edison knew that people who easily believed what other people had to say, or made assumptions without first handed knowledge or experience, would not be able to look afresh at problems and find innovative solutions. They would have closed minds, he reckoned. Edison was looking for people with a mind of their own and the conviction to back it.

Churchill’s Gospel

CHURCHILL’S GOSPEL

“It was the nation ….. that had the lion’s heart.
I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.”

“I have nothing to offer but Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat.”

“Courage is the first of the human qualities,
Because it is the qualities which guarantees all others”

“If you have an important point to make,
Don’t try to subtle or clever, use the pile driver,
Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again.
Then hit it a third time.”

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings,
The inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

“The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that,
When nations are strong, they are not always just and
when they wish to be just, they are no longer strong.”

“If we open a quarrel between the past and the present,
We shall find we have lost the future.”

“The pessimist see difficulty in every opportunity,
The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.”

“Personally I am always ready to learn,
Though I don’t always like being taught.”

“It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead,
The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time.”

“When I look back on all the worries,
I remembered the story of the old man,
Who said on his deathbed that,
He had a lot of trouble in his life,
Most of which never happened.”

“Never, never, never, never give up.”

“Kites rise highest against the wind,
Not with it…”

“I do not resent criticism,
even if for the sake of emphasis,
it parts for the time with reality.”

“Never, never, never, never give in,
In nothing great or small, large or petty.
Never give in except to conviction, honour and good sense.”

“Success is the ability to go from failure to failure
without loosing your enthusiasm.”

“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.”


Sir Winston Churchill : One in all – A Soldier, Writer, Artist, Orator, Statesman and a leader per-excellence.

They face life with optimism, have better relationships and are more sensitive, motivated, and ambitious. They are open to new opportunities and challenges.
