As
I look back on my life I see many more failures than I do successes.
Most of my projects went nowhere. But a few of them succeeded, some
beyond any reasonable expectation. I keep thinking that another one of
those is on the way.
Examples:
I wrote 10 books. One of them became a best-seller. I started about 15
major physics projects. Most were cancelled before they could reach
fruition; a few succeeded moderately, and are still quoted in the
literature (but only the specialists know about them); two were awarded
Nobel Prizes (to my students who took them over). I started several
businesses (consulting, shale gas exploration, optical devices) which
did OK, but only my most recent one Home-Deep Isolation looks like it will change the world.
So you keep at it, and try not to be bothered by failure. -Dr.Richard Muller
