Professional dancers don鈥檛 view the process of working to improve their dancing as 鈥渟ucceeding鈥� or 鈥渇ailing.鈥� To them, it鈥檚 about continual improvement, practicing every day to be better dancers than they were the day before.
As used to explain to the media when we launched his Dyson brand vacuum in the United States, it took him 15 years and 5,127 prototypes until he finally succeeded in inventing the DC01, the world鈥檚 first bag-less vacuum featuring cyclonic technology. Each of his 5,127 鈥渇ailures鈥� helped him, ultimately, to succeed.
From ballroom dancing, I鈥檝e learned not to view so-called 鈥渇ailure鈥� as failure either. I鈥檝e come to view failure as a stepping stone to success. The more quickly you learn from your failures, the more quickly you can succeed.
