                    who  failed  a  lot  of  times  but          very  few  of  us  know  that  he
                    didn’t quit. One of them was the             actually  wanted  to  be  in  the  air
                    “Thomas Edison” who invented                 force  but  can’t.  He  applied  for
                    the  bulb.  At  that  time  when             that  particular  post  in  the  air
                    people  don’t  even  know  what  a           force and even cleared all stages
                    bulb  is,  how  it  works,  why  it  is      but was rejected in the last stage
                    required etc. Edison thought of it           by a very minimal margin. But he

                    and  actually  did  that.  This              didn’t  get  disappointed;  he  took
                    doesn’t  mean  that  he  just                that  as  a  chance  to  improve
                    thought of it and immediately did            himself       and       gain     more
                    that,  it  took  years  for  him  to         knowledge about the same which
                    actually invent something that we            helped him later. He later worked
                    now  call  a  bulb.  During  his             in DRDO and then in ISRO and
                    research, he was taunted by many             contributed much to the science

                    people and faced a lot of failures           and  growth  of  India.  Not  only
                    also  but  what  he  didn’t  do  was         that,  when  he  was  elected  and
                    quit  because  he  knew  what  he            served  the  nation  as  a  president
                    was     doing     and     only     got       he headed all the forces(air force,
                    encouraged and motivated by his              navy etc.) which he wanted to be
                    failures.   In  response  to  a              only a part of. But at that time he
                    question  about  his  missteps,              knew  that  he  was  worthy  of
                    Edison  once  said,  “I  have  not           something  more  than  what  he
                    failed      10,000       times—I’ve          wanted back in his life. And that
                    successfully  found  10,000  ways            thinking helped him to gain and

                    that will not work.”  This is what           improve  his  skills  and  rest  is
                    we  call  dedication  and  a  lesson         history which everyone knows. If
                    that  we  must  learn  from  failure.        we  want  to  take  example  from
                    Another  example  that  we  can              present  then  all  the  corona
                    think     of    is    “Avul      Pakir       warriors that are fighting against
