More quotes by James Dyson
The media thinks that you have to make science sexy and concentrate on themes such as rivalry and the human issues.
James Dyson
I made 5,127 prototypes of my vaccum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one. That’s how I came up with a solution. So I don’t mind failure.
James Dyson
In the digital age of overnight success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked.
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
We have to change our culture so you can create wealth from making things and don't just try to make money out of money
James Dyson
Life is a mountain of solvable problems and I enjoy that.
James Dyson
I just think things should work properly.
James Dyson
[M]anufacturing, science and engineering are ... incredibly creative. I'd venture to say more so than creative advertising agencies and things that are known as the creative industries.
James Dyson
A lot of people give up when the world seems to be against them, but that's the point when you should push a little harder. I use the analogy of running a race. It seems as though you can’t carry on, but if you just get through the pain barrier, you'll see the end and be okay. Often, just around the corner is where the solution will happen.
James Dyson
Anyone developing new products and new technology needs one characteristic above all else: hope.
James Dyson
An inventor's path is chorused with groans, riddled with fist-banging and punctuated by head scratches.
James Dyson
Cordless vacuums are designed for quick jobs, but you need enough power to do the job you don't want the power waning over time.
James Dyson
I was frustrated as a child when I had to use a vacuum. It had a screaming noise and the smell of stale dog and a lack of performance.
James Dyson
If robots are to clean our homes, they'll have to do it better than a person.
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
Designing aircraft and racing cars is an extremely exciting thing.
James Dyson
If you invent something, you're doing a creative act. It's like writing a novel or composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment.
James Dyson
I just want things to work properly.
James Dyson
Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.
James Dyson
The computer dictates how you do something, whereas with a pencil you're totally free.
