“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” Thomas Edison was a famous scientist who attempted to create “light” 10,000 times. Of course, the last time he succeeded.

“What people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can.” Lance Armstrong proved everyone wrong after they said he would never be able to win any race again.
