Back to 1973, he and his partner had one of the most vital projects throughout 3 years before he nearly gave up until one of the most important investors had come to his life and invested the money into his project. And for after a couple of years, the Thomas Edison project had finally been done and he and his partner had created the AC current in 1978. After that, people have used this kind of electrical current to nowadays, including in our electrical appliance and even a guitar player like me hates the DC current.

According to my memory, I would say that the most important invention that has changed people's lives is Thomas Edison's AC current. Back in 1873, he and his partner had one of the most vital projects for three years before he nearly gave up until one of the most important investors came into his life and invested money into his project. After a couple of years, the Thomas Edison project was finally completed, and he and his partner created the AC current in 1878. After that, people have used this kind of electrical current to this day, including in our electrical appliances, and even a guitar player like me hates the DC current. The reason why people love this kind of current is that it not only provides safety but also helps electrical equipment run more smoothly compared to the DC current. The project proves that the only way to achieve your goals is not to give up, but it also shows how it has changed our lives compared to the past. After seeing the project, I learned one of the most important lessons in my life: don't give up on anything, even when you face many challenges and difficulties. The only way to overcome these challenges is to keep going and try as hard as you can.
