He slept for  17   minutes at a time, in the middle of the night, in an underground room   18   the power station, with a metal box for his bed. During these days, he almost never saw his wife and their children.

Everyone probably   19  him. Edison won his success when his work was completed. However, he almost did not notice the money and honor he received  20   soon he became interested in other ideas.
