Failure doesn't suck

From the Dyson vacuum guy...

"We're taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven't, you need to do things the wrong way. Initiate a failure by doing something that's very silly, unthinkable, naughty, dangerous. Watching why that fails can take you on a completely different path."

Whenever anyone asks me if I have any regrets from anything in my past, I always have the same answer.

None. Not at all. Not even for the major fuck-ups in my life. Because each of those fuck-ups and failures or "what ifs" taught me valuable lessons and took me "on a completely different path."

And you know something? What he's said is more likely to get me to buy one of his vacuums.

They're too expensive (I got mine cheap through Stephanie when she worked at BBB), but man do they suck!

The cost is why I don't have one...yet. But considering I end up buying a new vacuum ever 5-6 years because the cheaper ones stop working, I'm willing to give a Dyson a try when I can afford one.

I heard they really suck...and as you know, with two cats, a vacuum that sucks is a good thing.
