More quotes by James Dyson
You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realised.
James Dyson
Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.
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
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
Anger is a good motivator.
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
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.
James Dyson
After the idea, there is plenty of time to learn the technology
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
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
I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.
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
An inventor's path is chorused with groans, riddled with fist-banging and punctuated by head scratches.
James Dyson
Today, computers are almost second nature to most of us.
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
If you really want to improve technology, if you want things to work better and be better, you've got to protect the person who spends a lot of effort, money, and time developing that new technology.
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
Enjoy failure and learn from it. You never learn from success.
