"NOW WE CAN START OVER"
Thomas Edison’s manufacturing facilities in West Orange, N.J., were heavily damaged by fire one night in December 1914. Edison lost almost $1 million worth of equipment and the record of much of his work. The next morning, walking about the charred embers of his hopes and dreams, the 67-year-old inventor said, "There's value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Now we can start anew." Trials have a purging effect in our life.
