â[Space X] is a test program, we expect [the rockets] to explode. Itâs weird if [the rockets] donât explode, frankly. You have to run things close to the edge.â â Elon MuskItâs normal for things break or fail in the process of trying to produce great work.
Achieving greater heights in any field is the result of being deeply curious, trying many things, experience set backs which â yes â can sometimes involve breaking things, learning from these set backs, and becoming wiser and more capable as a result.
Thomas Edison famously made 1,000 broken lightbulbs before building one that worked.
The Wright brothers had to the skies 3 times before they were able to sustain flight in the sky for about 1 minute.JK Rowlingâs book âHarry Potterâ was rejected 12 times by major publishers.
