Don’t be afraid to fail. Get out there and experiment and learn and fail and get a rate based on the experiences you have. Go for it and when you go for it you’ll learn what you’re capable of, what the potential is, where the opportunities are, but you can’t be afraid to fail because that’s when you learn.

Michael Dell

Michael Dell
It's through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we've always mapped our path at Dell. There's always an opportunity to make a difference.
Michael Dell
We've found that customers are very open. They'll tell you what's going on, what's working and what's not. They're looking for help.
Michael Dell
You just have to change. To be successful, what you have to do is have an acceptance of risk and you have to be pretty explicit about that, because if you don’t accept risk, you don’t get any innovation. And that means part of risk is you have to accept failure because not everything works.
Michael Dell
From the time I was 7, when I purchased my first calculator, I was fascinated by the idea of a machine that could compute things.
Michael Dell
If you don't have jobs, it's hard to have other things like health and education.
Michael Dell
By questioning all the aspects of our business, we continuously inject improvement and innovation into our culture.
