Today, computers are almost second nature to most of us.

Life is a mountain of solvable problems and I enjoy that.
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.

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.

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.

Beauty can come in strange forms.

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 imported the first Mac into England in 1984 you know, the beige box. I imported what I think were the first four that came into England. I never opened the instruction manual. That was the best thing about it.
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The media thinks that you have to make science sexy and concentrate on themes such as rivalry and the human issues.

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
