Edison only attended primary school for three months in his life, and his knowledge came from his mother's teaching and self-study.

Edison's strong research spirit made him make great contributions to the improvement of human lifestyle. "Waste, the biggest waste is wasting time." Edison often said to his assistant. "Life is short, so we should try to do more with less time." One day, Edison was working in the laboratory. He handed his assistant an empty glass bulb without a lampholder and said, "Measure the capacity of the bulb." He bowed his head to work again. After a long time, he asked, "What's the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer, turned to see the assistant measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb with a soft ruler, and poured the measured figures on the table for calculation. He said, "Time, time, why does it take so much time?" Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to his assistant, and said, "Pour the water into the measuring cup and tell me its capacity at once." The assistant read out the numbers at once. Edison said, "How easy it is to measure. It is accurate and saves time. Why didn't you think of that? " ? Still counting. Isn't that a waste of time? "The assistant's face turned red. Edison murmured, "Life is too short, too short. Save time and do more! " Edison was a poor worker before he became famous. Once, his old friend met him in the street and said with concern, "look, this coat on you is very worn." You should get a new one. " "Need it to be? Nobody knows me in new york. " Edison answered indifferently. A few years later, Edison became a great inventor. One day, Edison met that friend again in the street of new york. "Oh," exclaimed my friend, "why are you still wearing this old coat? This time, I have to change a new one anyway! " "Need it to be? Everyone here already knows me. " Edison still answered casually.
