Can A Mistake Be Used For Good?

    Have you ever done anything wrong in your life before? Was the mistake a big one? Or a little one? Was the change for good? Or was it for bad? What if I told you one invention that became a failure ended up being a major company when shipping items....

    Bubble wrap was created in 1957. The invention at the time was not intended to ship items but to be made for wall paper. The inventors, Alfred W. Fielding and Marc Chanannes designed bubble wrap to be three-dimensional type of wall paper. Unfortunately, their product was a failure.

    The men could have packed up and left the bubble wrap in the back of their minds as a failure. The men realized that they still had a good product that could be used for something. In 1960, the men turned their bubble wrap into the invention of protecting people's items as they were being mailed and shipped.

    The first carrier for Bubble wrap was IBM. It was used to protect their IBM 1401 computer during shipment. They have new designs for their bubble wrap. The company is now worth billion of dollars. Though the company makes a ton of money, there is no greater joy than seeing a child playing with their piece of bubble wrap. No child nor adult alike cannot see a piece of bubble wrap without getting the urge to pop. Fielding and Chananners may get a lot of money with Bubble Wrap but it brings more joy to the players than the buyers.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature: old things
are passed away; behold
all things are become
new.
