Our garage was basically science fair central.

There is no map, and charting a path ahead will not be easy. We will need to invent, which means we will need to experiment.

If you double the number of experiments you do per year you're going to double your inventiveness.

If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.

The thing about inventing is you have to be both stubborn and flexible. The hard part is figuring out when to be which. If you're not stubborn, you'll give up on experiments too soon. And if you're not flexible, you'll pound your head against the wall and you won't see a different solution to a problem you're trying to solve.

To get something new done you have to be stubborn and focused, to the point that others might find unreasonable.
