Connection: Philo T. Farnsworth and Charles Darwin

When I read the this article about Philo Farnsworth, I couldn't help but feel really bad for him. I mean, he had this amazing idea thats is one of the most popular things nowadays to own. But he just didnt know how to go about it the right way, so he failed. People stole his idea and made it bigger, and he wouldn't even take what he can get. He turned down the money and was never going to give up. Then I was sad to hear it didn't workout and he went into deep depression and alcoholism. I cant exactly think of a person who had this same exact experience, but I know that this kind of closely relates to Charles Darwin's story and how Alfred Wallace came up his same theory of natural selection right about at the same time too! I mean thats kind of annoying, now he has to share the credit and everything, but its not as bad as Farnsworth. If he had just thought it maybe a little sooner, it would have been 100% his, and he would be way more successful. This really is good advice for me and probably everybody! Now I know if i have a complex invention, maybe get some help with it so I dont lose it to smarter people. That would make me really mad, so I would do whatever to get a share somehow. And if its a simpler idea, than try to come up with it as fast as possible and have no hesitations when it comes to publishing. We can learn a lot from these philosophers, that may help us go farther with what we believe in. But most importantly, dont let anyone else get in on your idea!
