Two Giants working for a Third
"Both Tesla and Henry Ford worked for Edison"- a new fact I discovered
Edison was a great inventor. However, he was not a very nice man based on some of the stories I had read about him. But he did create many inventions.
I am reading a book called Mastery by Robert Greene that mentions that Henry Ford spent the night shift working for Edison. After he worked the night shift, Henry Ford worked on his cars during the day.
Similarly, Tesla worked for Edison. He solved Edison's direct current (DC) problems while on the side working for himself on alternating currents (AC) and motors.
I always knew about Tesla but I did not know about Ford. What perked my interest up is that both did work on the side while working for their employer. It seems to me that they wanted their ideas more than satisfying Edison's need for new inventions. Eventually they had to go on their own in order to get their ideas a chance to survive.
Today's question is:
"How do you keep your side projects moving along while trying to earn a living?"
