I've read that Edison wasn't so much a genius at inventing things, but a genius at getting other people to do all the work and him taking the credit. I suppose that is a skill. But I grew up thinking he was a hero and turned on the lights for the modern era. Turns out Tesla probably would have done a better job.
But who am I to judge.
What can I say? I'm a cynic at heart. It's hard to be around for so many years and not get a bit jaded. I don't like to think the worst of people, but doing so is justified more often than not.
On the bright side, I did get a design out of my new phrase "I don't give a flying bucket of fudge."
