Weekly Quote: Tony Fadell on Learning from Failure

This week’s quote comes from Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making, by Tony Fadell, and it speaks volumes about where growth typically comes from. Fadell led the teams that created the iPhone and iPod, and later the Nest Learning Thermostat. He knows well what success looks like, and in his work was able to replicate it several times. There are many reasons the three products mentioned above are household names, and failure is part of that. It’s a part of everything we succeed at, because as much as we’d rather not admit it, we learn more from productive struggle than from a successful day at the office.
