1 The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how

Pacific Ocean．talk on a cellphone(手機)．The innovators who left us these things had to find the
way to success through a maze(錯綜復(fù)雜)of wrong turns．
2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s

another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing．Walt
Disney,the founder of Disneyland，was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he
was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1．50 to get his shoes from the
repair shop．Pioneering Car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of
another before he developed the Model T Car．
6 Failure is harder to bear in today’s open,accelerated world．Hardly any innovation works
the first time But an impatient society and the media want instant success When American
music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time，a critic said nastily that the only
difference between Geffen Records (Geffen’s company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music．Actually，it wasn’t．After four years of 10sses．Geffen had so many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.
