“Most large organizations embrace the idea of invention, but are not willing to suffer the string of failed experiments necessary to get there.”
— Jeff Bezos
Simplified Meaning:
Big companies often say they love new ideas and inventing things. But they don't like trying things that might not work. For example, a company might want to create a new product, but when a few early versions fail, they might give up. They expect all experiments to succeed the first time, which isn't realistic. Real invention involves a lot of trial and error. So, if you want to create something new, you have to be okay with some mistakes along the way. Imagine Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb. He tried many times before he got it right. If he had stopped after a few failures, we might not have electric lights today. So, in your life, if you have a big idea, remember that it's normal for some attempts to fail. You need to keep trying and learn from each mistake to finally succeed.
