Inovations make our life better. But who are inovators and how have they reached their goals? I'd like to tell you a few stories of 2 ordinary people who are rocking the world with their bright ideas.  Dereck Kayongo was very shocked to be told that guests were given new soap every day while 2 million young children were dying every year through lack of hygiene in the developing world, and this got him thinking. So, in 2009, Dereck started asking hotels if they could donate their used bars of soap that would be otherwise put in the bin. So far, Dereck's "Global Soap Project" has provided more than 100.000 bars of soap to 9 countries absolutely free. The second story is about the one of the most famous inventors - Thomas Edison. Most people immediately think of the light bulb when they think of Thomas Edison. On the other hand, by the end of his life he held 1093 patents and he was responsible for more inventions than any other inventor in history! Undoubtedly, he...

It was risky, but I knew I wanted ro try it. My name is Thomas Edison, and I'm responsible for more inventions than any other inventor in history! Let me tell you a bit about how making a good inventions can be hard. To begin with, imagine that as a child, my teacher told my mom that I was too slow to learn. Later on, as an inventor, many of my inventions failed, but from the early childhood I absolutely refused to give up, and that helped me the most. Furthermore, a nother effective rule that I use’s to take time out to relax while working. If I fall into a deep sleep, several metal balls in my hand would fall noisily on the floor and wake me up and I would scribble down whatever was in my mind. Moreover, imagine, that the serious part of inventions were generated while sleeping. To conclude everything,  I succeded because I was determined, persistent and knew how to use my mistakes to my advantage. Don’t be afraid to fall. Be afraid not to try.
