PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Thomas Alva Edison

By Alexander Saporito

EARLY YEARS

  • Febuary 11, 1847 Mahio
  • Parents-Nancy and Samule Edison
  • 7 siblings
  • Very Big Family
As you can see, Thomas was born on Febuary 11, 1847.
His parents were Nancy Elliott Edison and Samule Edison.
One out of 7 siblings.
So of course it was a very huge family.

Educations

  • Only 4 months of school
  • Home schooled
  • Became deaf at age 12
Thomas Edison was a very questionable child at school.
According to
(http://www.Patentdrafing.com/Edison)
it says questionable children along time ago were the kids that got in trouble. He also hated math.
At parent teacher confrence the teacher told Nancy the truth. Nancy got mad and thats how Thomas got homeschooled.

When he became 12 he also became deaf.
HE LOVED IT THAT WAY!!!!!
Which was suprising for me to read.

Occupations

  • At age 24, on Chrismas day, he married a girl
  • Job=telaphone opperator
The girls name was Mary Stillwell Edison, and she was 16 years old!
We all know that Thomas Edison had a job as a telephone operator.

  • He built a lab at age 10
His legacy was at age 14 he saved a 3 year-old girl from a train!!!!!!!!!
Of course he made the telephone,

7 Habbits

  • Proactive-Never gave up
  • End in Mind-Creating huge stuff last
  • Think win/win-Made concreate house 
  • First things First-Had a plan for ideas
  • Sharpen the saw
So this shows 5 of the 7 habbits.
He was proactive by not blowing (quiting his job) when he made inventions that didnt work.
he did End in mind by doing the easy stuff first for expierience, then hard stuff so he doesnt have alot of preasurre like he used to be.
Think win/win by making the concreate house, for alot of money, and it was the best shelter since then, but it went totaly wrong.
First things first, because each idea he had, he also had a plan.


On the next slide ill show you sharpen the saw.

SHARPEN THE SAW

So as you can see, #1 is mind, #2 is body, #3 is soul, and #4 is heart.
He did do much more mind than anything by this;
1.Working on futerisctic stuff.
This is Soul;
1. His awesome past
This is body
1.Working
Last but not least, this is Heart
1.Friends
I put friends down because did you know he was friends with Henry Ford!?
Wow.

Interesting Facts

  • Read books about Shakespear
  • Got 6 children
  • Married Stillwell, the Mina Miller
  • Died in West Orange New Jersey
He reads books about Shakespear and much more!
This is sad but, Stillwell died years later so he got 3 more children.
This is even sadder, but
Thomas died out of diabetes mentulis.
So sad.
