Get High on Failure by James Dyson

Dyson is the guy behind the famous Dyson vacuum cleaner. His words of wisdom:

“An engineer’s life is 99% failure. So failure clearly doesn’t depress me. I think it has the reverse effect on me. You don’t learn from success, and your successes are few and far between. Failure is like a drug, actually. You go to work each day excited, because you know there are hundreds of problems there that you haven’t solved. It’s living on the edge, because you might come up with the solution or you might not.”
