...it's a brilliant quote from Thomas Edison via Lifehacker.com today (or yesterday?).
...it's something I forget quite often. And as an engineer, I should know that success derives directly from failure. You make a successful component by improving on one that failed. And then improving again. Etc.
...but usually when I find I did something that doesn't work the way I wish it did, my response is more like 'Well, shit. That was stupid.'
Maybe someday I'll make enough stupid mistakes to be brilliant?
Note: Thanks, M, for the correction. :-/
