Even Intelligent People Can Fail
The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our moden world is how often they failed.Turn on a light,take a photograph watch TV,search the Web,jet across the Pacific Ocean,talk on a cellphone.The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze of wrong turns.
We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s success in heaing a thin line to white-hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey,US.He did that on October 22,1879,and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight in an airless space for 45 hours.Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan,even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on,on September 4,1882.
“Many of life’s failures,”the supreme innovator said “are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”Before that magical moment in October 1879,Edison had worked out no fewer than 3000 theories about electric light,but in only two cases did his experiments work.
No one likes failure,but the smart innovators learn from it.Mark Gumz,the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc,attributes some of the company’s successes in technology to understanding failure.His popular phrase is:“You only fail when you quit.”
Over two centuries,the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence.That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing .Walt Disney,the founder of Disneyland ,was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop .Pioneering car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car.
Failure is harder to bear in today’s open ,accelerated world .Hardly any innovation works the first time .Butan impatient society and the media want instant success.When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time ,a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records and the Titanic(the ship that went down ) was that the Titanic had better music .Actually,it wasn’t.After four years of losses,Geffen had so many hits he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.
即使是聪明人也会失败
令人惊奇的一件事革新者,他们成功地使我们的现代世界,是如何,他们往往都失败了.又一个轻松,以一张照片,看电视,和搜索网页,喷气推进,隔着太平洋,谈手机.革新者的人,给我们留下了这些东西已经找到了成功之路,通过迷宫的错误道路.
我们刚刚庆祝了125周年之际,美国革新者托马斯爱迪生的成功heaing薄线到白热化的热量为14小时,在他的实验室在新泽西州,美国.他并指出,对1879年10月22日,并跟进一个月后,保持一个线程共同纸板下车,在气空间为45小时.三年后,他接着就轻了半个平方英里的曼哈顿闹区,即使只有其中的6个电厂在他的设计工作时,他拒绝了,对1882年9月4日.
"许多人生的失败,"最高人民法院创新者说:"有些人不明白如何接近他们,以成功的时候,他们放弃了,"以前这神奇的时刻,在1879年10月,爱迪生已制订不得少于三千理论电灯,但在只有两例做他的实验工作.
没有人喜欢失败,但是聪明的创新者学习.马克gumz ,头部的照相机制造商奥林巴斯美国公司,属性,该公司的一些成就,在技术,以了解失败的.他的流行这样一句话是:"你只有失败的时候,你戒烟" .
两个多世纪中,最常见的高质量的创新者已毅力.这就是另一种方式的话称,他们的情绪能力,以跟上他们做些什么.华特迪士尼,创办的迪士尼乐园,就这样爆发后,一连串的金融倒闭,他离开shoeless在他的办公室,因为他不能负担为1.50美元,以获得自己的鞋,从修理店.首创汽车制造商亨利福特未能与一间公司,并被迫离开公司的另一前他发展了T型汽车.
失败是令人难以忍受,在今天的开放,加速了世界.几乎没有任何创新工程还是第一次.丁不耐烦了社会和媒体希望即时成功.当美国的音乐和电影大师大卫格芬有困难的时候,批评家说,nastily认为唯一的区别格芬记录和铁达尼号(船到了朝下) ,是铁达尼号有较好的音乐.其实,事实并不是这样.经过4年的亏损,格芬了这么多打击,他能够负担的船舶,大如泰坦尼克号全部转到他的身上.
