Consider Thomas Edison. He famously did not see his attempts as failures, once saying he had found 10,000 ways that would not work. He did not invent the lightbulb perfectly on his first try. He released many early versions that were not perfect, each one a chance to learn. His initial attempts were not setbacks; they were insights that guided him closer to success. His genius was not in achieving perfection, but in consistently making changes and sharing them along the way. (2/3)
