For those who are yet to believe that making a mistake is actually more profitable than being idle and doing nothing, i guess it is high time you stop doubting and start doing something.
I have currently made about three posts about great mistakes that have changed the world all of which can be seen on my blog.
Today, i will be talking about "VASELINE" or "PETROLEUM JELLY" as some people may call it.
The petroleum jelly story goes thus;
In 1859 a certain man named Robert Chesebrough was looking at becoming one of the billionaires of his time and wanted to do so with the help of the Black gold which was prevalent at that time.
As the work went on, his workers began to complain about a sticky wax substance that gummed up their drilling equipments and had to be removed from the pumps regularly thereby making the work difficult.
The workers used the wax to heal their wounds and cut but after some time, Chesebrough took the wax to a lab in brooklyn where the medicinal portion of the wax was synthesized to what we know today as vaseline.
Chesebrough even ate a spoonful of it everyday.
I am still on the quest of encouraging every steemian to try out new things and i hope with time my voice will be heard.
