Take Heart, Your Mistakes Make You More Valuable

Shop Floor Mess

“If milk is wasted, it becomes yogurt.
Yogurt is more valuable than milk.
If it gets any worse, it becomes cheese.
Cheese is more valuable than yogurt and milk.
And if grape juice turns sour, it turns into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice.
You’re not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are experiences that make you more valuable as a person.
Christopher Columbus made a navigation error that led him to discover America.
Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent penicillin.
Don’t let your mistakes depress you. It’s not practice that makes perfect. It’s the mistakes we learn from that make perfect!”

12-Year-Old Jackson Oswalt Builds a Nuclear Fusion Reactor, Setting a World Record

Jackson Oswalt

At just 12 years old, Jackson Oswalt from Memphis, Tennessee, successfully built a nuclear fusion reactor in his family’s playroom. He managed to achieve nuclear fusion mere hours before turning 13 in 2018.
Inspired by young physicist Taylor Wilson, Oswalt gathered components mainly from eBay and independently learned the physics required for the project. His achievement was verified by Fusor.net and fusion expert Richard Hull, ultimately earning him a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to accomplish nuclear fusion.
Following widespread media attention, FBI agents visited Oswalt’s home to check for radiation. After finding none, they allowed him to continue his scientific experiments without any restrictions.
