To show his gratitude, the boy’s father taught young Thomas Edison the new Morse telegraphic system. Edison exceed at Telegraphy and began to develop ways which improved the technology. Thomas Edison’s father was an interesting character who both succeeded and failed throughout his life. Young Edison learned that failure is not the end, just another opportunity to succeed.
