Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a

few of the factors to consider.

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to

begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and

surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do

you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no

right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you

require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of

importance to you.

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might

still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not only invention. He also invented the phonograph,

the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something

new.

Thomas A. edison was born in Milan, ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to port

Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His

mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural

curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.

When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between

Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his

experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired

when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.

Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his

time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by

electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-

ticker, for $ 40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was

then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.

Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his

deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for

work. He called himself a '' two-shift man'' because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he

worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New

Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.
