Edison looked for the filament.
Persistent attempts will lead to success.
Edison can be said to be the greatest inventor in the19th century, and his name is associated with a series of brilliant achievements. But behind his success, he actually experienced many failed attempts. It is said that he failed thousands of times in the study of electric light. 1877, Edison began the experiment of transforming arc lamp. In order to achieve satisfactory results, it is necessary to find a filament that can withstand the high temperature of 2000 degrees 1000 hours or more. Edison began a difficult search process. He has done 1600 different experiments and tried various substances. After nearly five or six months' struggle, it is found that only platinum is more suitable, but platinum is more than Huang Jingui, so it is not practical to use it as a filament. Later, he devoted himself to carbonization, and there were more than 6,000 kinds of carbonization experiments on plants alone. He made more than 200 notes, reaching more than 40 thousand pages. It took three years, and it was not until the first half of 1880 that Edison developed a satisfactory bamboo filament. On this basis, later generations developed tungsten lamp silk, which is still in use today.
Black Digest finally touched the president's wife.
Try again, hope may be at hand.
1943 When Black American Digest was first published, the prospect was not optimistic. In order to expand the circulation, Johnson, the founder of the magazine, decided to write a series of articles "If I were black", asking hundreds of people to put themselves in the shoes of black people and think about their situation from another angle. He thinks that if Eleanor, the wife of President Roosevelt, can be invited to write such an article, the result will be very attractive, both for the circulation of magazines and for the black issue. So he wrote a very sincere letter to the president's wife Mrs. Roosevelt wrote back that she was too busy to write letters. But Johnson was not discouraged by this. He wrote her another letter, but it was rejected. After that, every half month, Johnson will write a letter to the president's wife on time, and his words will be more sincere.
Later, Mrs. Roosevelt came to Chicago, where Johnson was on business and would stay in the city for two days. When Johnson got the news, he immediately sent her a telegram, asking her to find time to write an article for Black Digest during her stay in Chicago. Perhaps his sincerity touched Mrs. Rothford. This time, she didn't refuse. She wrote her own thoughts and sent them to Black Digest. After the news came out, the whole country knew. Within a month, the sales volume of Black Digest surged from 20,000 to 1.5 million.
