Additional quotes by Peter Diamandis

The way I think about it, if you want to invent, if you want to do any innovation, anything new, you're going to have failures because you need to experiment. I think the amount of useful invention you do is directly proportional to the number of experiments you can run per week per month per year. So if you're going to increase the number of experiments, you're also going to increase the number of failures.
