Together, we engineer a brighter future
Presenter, optional quotes that you audience may find inspiring :
Thomas Alva Edison
“If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.”
“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
Alexander Graham Bell
"The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking" (c.1906)
“The inventor is a man who looks around upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization.”
