Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - August 29th


There’s nothing wrong with things taking time. – James Dyson
You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realized. – James Dyson

Life is a mountain of solvable problems, and I enjoy that.  – James Dyson

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a habit is:


a :  a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance


b :  an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary – got up early from a force of habit


5,126…that is the number of failed prototypes that James Dyson attempted before he created the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner.  It took 15 years of experimenting, learning and persevering before he created the “bag-free DC-07” in 2002.  Dyson has a thirst for knowledge and experimentation.  He continually wants to understand “why”.  Because he has the habit of continually learning, his tenacity and enthusiasm pushed him forward to finally create the bagless vacuum on his 5,127 try!  


There is no such things as a quantum leap. There is only dogged persistence – and in the end you make it look like a quantum leap. – James Dyson


CHALLENGE:  As you continue to work on implementing new habits into your life, remember to learn from the failures and find the internal tenacity to push forward to accomplish your dreams.
