Thomas Edison's teachers told him he was "too stupid to learn anything."
After that, things stayed bleak for a while, as Edison went onto be fired from his first two  jobs, for not being suitably productive.
Edison went on to hold more than 1,000 patents and invented some world-changing devices, like the phonograph, practical electrical lamp, and a movie camera.
