Some of the most popular products invented today were not even planned; they just happened. Everything may not go as intended, but the outcome can be rewarding. There is a fine line between a brilliant invention and absolute failure. Some of the best inventors had discovered this theory. As exploration of thinking outside the box expands, good things can start to accumulate and invent something useful. The feeling of these happy accidents can feel good once they are accomplished. The feeling of self worth takes over and confidence boosts. When the …show more content…

For example, the first person to try cookies and milk most likely dropped the cookie in the milk by accident. Many of the needed inventions that were created today were discovered because of a mess up. According to Alyson Krueger, Alex Fleming is the creator of Penicillin, which is an antibiotic. It wasn’t until after he threw away his experiments that he noticed what he had generated growing in the petri dish. When he threw them away he noticed the discovery that changed the game. The microwave oven was created because Percy Spencer was trying to invent a better vacuum tube. The invention of fireworks was created in a kitchen after just trying to make a new recipe. As you can see, not everything will go according to plan, but you will learn from it and sometimes there can be a better outcome. Mistakes can create success; they do not always have to lead to a negative consequence. The fact that something needs to be invented is not the only reason that the discovery will occur. Perseverance is not always needed when it comes to the invention of a new
