Other Mistakes

Another company, Diamond Fields, was formed untuk mencari diamonds, yang mana mereka tidak pernah menemui nya. The company's head geologist had made a mistake. Yet, instead dari mencari diamonds, they struck one of the largest nickel deposits in the world. Their stock price soared upon the discovery. Hari ini, walaupun namanya tetap Diamonds Field, they make their money in nickel.

Levi Strauss headed for the gold fields of California to strike it rich in mining. Walaubagaimanapun, beliau bukan seorang miner yang bagus, so he instead began sewing pants out of canvas for the miners who were successful. Hari ini, I think hampir seluruh masyarakat dunia pernah mendengar tentang Levi's jeans.

Dikatakan bahawa Thomas Edison would never have invented the light bulb if he had been an employee for the company he ultimately found-General Electric. Juga dikatakan bahawa Edison failed over 10,000 times before finally inventing the light bulb. If he had been an employee of a major corporation, he would most likely have been fired for making so many mistakes.

Christopher Colombus's big mistake was that he was looking for a trade route to China and accidentally bumped into America.
