Om Swami
How can I see failure differently so it doesn't crush me?
A thousand ways that don't work
Asked how he could be sure of making a bulb after failing a thousand times, an inventor said he had not failed a thousand times; he now knew a thousand ways of not making a bulb. If we listened to people, nobody would fund someone who failed a thousand times, so learn to listen to yourself.
he said that's exactly the reason I haven't failed one thousand times I now know one thousand ways of not making a bulb
