Opportunity comes dressed in overalls

And looks like work.

—Edison

I reckon there’s three skills here:

1. Noticing the opportunity.
2. Deciding whether it’s worth going after.
3. “Putting your overalls on” and doing the work.

Tommy Edison, saw a potential opportunity to turn electricity into light.

Oh boy did he go after it. He and his team tried everything.

After 10,000 failures he’d cracked it, and gave us the gift of light.

Nice one Tom.
