I learned that the moment you want to slow down is the moment you should accelerate.

Engineers are behind the cars we drive, the pills we pop and the way we power our homes.

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.

Enjoy failure and learn from it. You never learn from success.

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.

The computer dictates how you do something, whereas with a pencil you're totally free.

There is no such thing as a quantum leap. There is only dogged persistence - and in the end you make it look like a quantum leap.
