More quotes by James Dyson
You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realised.
James Dyson
If you can't be unconventional, be obtuse. Be deliberately obtuse, because there are 5 billion people out there thinking in train tracks, and thinking what they have been taught to think.
James Dyson
Some of the best inventive moments are born out of 'wrong thinking'. Most people start with the right way so they all follow the same path. The wrong way will lead to mistakes from which you can learn and create new discoveries-the kind of original ideas that come to life when we dare to be different, keep an open mind, and have no fear of failure.
James Dyson
Nobody wants the expenditure of a lease on a factory which lasts 21 years. You can't plan 21 years ahead.
James Dyson
When decisions on nuclear power stations and runways are delayed and the government dilly-dallies, people think they aren't important.
James Dyson
Everyone has ideas. They may be too busy or lack the confidence or technical ability to carry them out. But I want to carry them out. It is a matter of getting up and doing it.
James Dyson
I've fought court battles over my inventions before.
James Dyson
Having a good idea is one thing, but persuading other people to buy it is quite another. Good inventors are polymaths: they think with their hands and their brains. They're experts in design, engineering and business.
James Dyson
I learned that the moment you want to slow down is the moment you should accelerate.
James Dyson
In the digital age of overnight success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked.
James Dyson
We need to encourage investors to invest in high-technology startups.
James Dyson
Designing aircraft and racing cars is an extremely exciting thing.
James Dyson
An inventor's path is chorused with groans, riddled with fist-banging and punctuated by head scratches.
James Dyson
One of the most fun inventions of my lifetime is the Mini.
James Dyson
The important thing is to learn from mistakes - something graduates are adept at. Our graduate engineers are working on new technology - from uncharted applications for our digital motor, to a new take on the hand dryer. With an unhindered mind, nothing is off limits.
James Dyson
I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.
James Dyson
Today, computers are almost second nature to most of us.
James Dyson
Engineering is treated with disdain, on the whole. It's considered to be rather boring and irrelevant, yet neither of those is true.
James Dyson
I just want things to work properly.
James Dyson
Fear is always a good motivator.
