Quotations by Thomas Alva Edison
1. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. 2. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. 3. I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun. 4. I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work. 5. Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless. 6. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. 7. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. 8. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. 9. Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work. 10. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure. 11. There is no substitute for hard work. 12. There's a way to do it better - find it.

I think when he says "I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that don't work" I think he means that he is making progress but nothing has worked yet.

I think when he said "I never did a days of work in my life, it was all fun" he means that all of the inventing and making stuff was fun, not boring

I think when he said " There is no substitute for hard work. " he means hard work is hard work.you can't do easy work.
