“Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.”
— Jeff Bezos
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is saying that learning what doesn't work is just as important as finding what does. Imagine you're trying to bake a cake, and you try different recipes. Some cakes might come out too dry, some too sweet. Even though those cakes aren't perfect, you've learned which recipes don't give you the result you want. In the end, all those "mistakes" help you understand what you need to do to get the perfect cake. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, also had to try many different ways before he found the right one. Each time he failed, he found out what didn't work and got closer to what did. This teaches us not to be discouraged by failure. Instead, we should see it as a step towards success. We can use our mistakes to improve and finally reach our goal. So, if something doesn't work out, don't give up. Learn from it and keep trying.
