Reality TV is anything but.

If you want to do something different, you’re going to come up against a lot of naysayers.

As an engineer I'm constantly spotting problems and plotting how to solve them.

Stumbling upon the next great invention in an 'ah-ha!' moment is a myth.

We’re taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven’t, you need to do things the wrong way. Initiate a failure by doing something that’s very silly, unthinkable, naughty, dangerous. Watching why that fails can take you on a completely different path. It’s exciting, actually. To me, solving problems is a bit like a drug. You’re on it, and you can’t get off.

Beauty can come in strange forms.

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.
