"Failure is interesting — it's part of making progress. You never learn from success, but you do learn from failure." — James Dyson, British inventor

Dyson recently revealed that he created 5,127 failed versions of his bagless vacuum before finally created one that succeeded.

Five years of failure, after failure, after failure.

So what?

This isn't just about dogged determination. Failing is painful. But it's the hunger for discovery and learning that will keep you driving forward.

Question the status quo. Embrace the growing pains of learning, and cultivate a passion for exploration. These are the keys to innovation and entrepreneurship.

And never doubt the importance of a prototype!
