Unknowingly we create
fear of failure in the mind which restrains us not to try. But watch this
presentation by Regina Dugan, then director of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency. In this breathtaking talk she describes some of the
extraordinary projects -- a robotic hummingbird, a prosthetic arm controlled by
thought, and, well, the internet -- that her agency has created by not worrying
that they might fail.
"Scientists and engineers change the world"
"What would you
attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"
“The path to truly
new, never-been-done-before things always has failure along the way.”
“We think someone
else, someone smarter than us, someone more capable, someone with more
resources will solve that problem. But there isn't anyone else.”
