Be as successful as a Smith.

About This Quote

This is a famous quotation attributed to the American industrialist and inventor, Thomas A. Edson. It means that the equivalent of a skilled craftsman or professional worker should strive for success as a Smith, or an engineer. A Smith is a skilled worker, and he learns how to do his job through experience and practice.

Likewise, if you want to be as successful as a Smith, you must experience the process of doing your work over and over again. You must do it at first with little knowledge or experience. You must study hard to gain a certain amount of mastery before your real work begins.

Study hard and practice hard to become a Smith.
