“Failure always brings something valuable with it. I don’t let it leave until I extract that value. I have a long history of profiting from failure. My cartooning career, for example, is a direct result of failing to succeed in the corporate environment.”
“Good ideas have no value because the world already has too many of them. The market rewards execution, not ideas.”
From “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life” by Scott Adams (creator of the Dilbert comic strip)
