Being a good designer means having a spirit of exploration and being OK with the reality that things may not always end up how you planned.
That can be applied to many professions.

Last question:
You’re daughter Esther is one of the most incredibly inspiring women role models alive today. Do you have any parenting advice for those of out here with kids of our own who would like them to become similarly active, positive, and brilliant adults?
Dyson: Thank you for your compliment to Esther and to her parents. We do not claim credit for her achievements. She was lucky to be the oldest of six, so we had little time for her and gave her little of our attention. She befitted from our benign neglect. She learned from a young age to choose her own path through life. She chose for her motto: “Always make new mistakes.” I believe that is the key to her happy and productive life.
