James Dyson iterated his vacuum design 5,200 times before it worked. True resilience isn't bouncing back from failure—it's building forward through learning and systematic effort until you get it right.

So remember, resilience doesn't mean that you just bounce back. We also build forward. We go higher than we were before by learning and iterating on ourselves or our products or whatever it is we're working on. The most extreme example of iteration that I've ever heard of was, uh, James Dyson. He's the founder of Dyson vacuum cleaners. Supposedly he went through about 5,200 iterations, give or take, before he came up with the Dyson vacuum.
