Are you willing to sit with a complicated problem? Are you willing to be bored? Are you willing to be frustrated? Are you willing to pursue your own random ideas? Are you willing to try things out? Are you willing to fail, repeatedly, and keep going?

If so, you can be an inventor. You can create things that nobody has created. It could be art, it could be software, it could be a new process or a novel or a tool or a game or a piece of music.

☎️🗣️ The first phone call was a literal cry for help. While working on his "harmonic telegraph," Alexander Graham Bell accidentally spilled battery acid on his clothes.
