Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame gave a great talk about failure at Maker Faire.

• Sometimes it’s the things you think are going to be simple that take the most time and energy in reality
• I don’t know, I’m making this up as I go along isn’t a very good long term strategy
• Assuaging with a woman to forget your troubles is a terrible idea…most of the time.
• Failures are deeply important parts of your character
• Failures give shape to your intuition
• Things worth doing are worth risking failure for
