The late Thomas A. Edison freely admitted that Mrs Edison was the major source of his inspiration. They held their Master Mind meetings daily, usually at the close of Mr Edison's day's work. And nothing was permitted to interfere with these meetings. Mrs Edison said to that, for she recognised the value of her keen interest in all of Mrs Edison's experimental work.
Mr Edison often worked late into the night, but his home-coming found his wife awaiting him in keen anticipation of hearing him tell of his successes and failures during the day. She was familiar with every experimental he conducted and took an interest in them.
She served as a sort of "sounding board" for Mr Edison, through whom he had the privilege of looking at his work from the sidelines, and it has been said that she often supplied the missing link to many of his unsolved problems.
History attributes the rise to military power of Napoleon Bonaparte to the inspirational influence of his first wife, Josephine. Napoleon's military success began to wane when he allowed his ambition for power to cause him to put Josephine aside, and his defeat and banishment to the lonely island of St. Helen was not far ahead of this act.
It may not be amiss to mention the fact that many a modern-times business "Napoleon" has met with the same kind of defeat for the same reason. Men often maintain their Master Mind relationships with their wives until they attain power, fame and fortune, then "trade them in for new models", as Andrew Carnegie expressed it.
