Failure and Learning

Homertryingis

Homer Simpson says that trying to do something is the first step on the road to failure.

James Dyson says his revolutionary vacuum cleaner took hundreds of prototypes.   And he points out that each prototype was a FAILURE until the last one.   Without the failure there is no learning.   Take a look at the video clip "Failure" on Mr.Dyson's website
