Margo Georgiadis Quotes

When you make content, you try things, and they don't always work. You learn from it and figure out what's next.

Often I'll try things that just won't happen the way I'd like them to, so hearing that they're not working saves me some wear and tear the next time around.

Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.

Failure's inevitable. It happens all the time in a complex economy. And how did the economy produce all these amazing things that we have around us, computers and cell phones and so on? Well, the process was trial and error. There were a bunch of ideas, and the good ones grew and prospered, and the bad ones were pretty ruthlessly weeded out.

More can be learned from what works than from what fails.

Every time you find something that doesn't work, you're a step closer to what does work.

Sometimes the best way to learn something is by doing it wrong and looking at what you did.

That is the trouble with many inventors; they lack patience. They lack the willingness to work a thing out slowly and clearly and sharply in their mind, so that they can actually "feel it work."

We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.

Progress through trial and error depends not only on making trials, but on recognizing errors.

Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.

When people tell you what doesn't work, they're usually right. When they tell you how to fix it, they're usually wrong.

We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee to fail intelligently... to experiment over and over again and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.

Sometimes you can fail in an experiment. But if you fail, you still don't stop observing that thing, looking for a better way.

I think if I try to develop a formula, it ends up not working.

Much can often be learned by the repetition under different conditions, even if the desired result is not obtained.

Failure is essential. Trial and error is necessary.

He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery.

For me, I'd rather be the inventive one, and if something doesn't work, I'll go back to the workshop, put it on the bench, and pound on it for awhile.

If you make an error, use it as a stepping stone to a new idea you might not have otherwise discovered.

Entrepreneurs don't write a 100-page business plan and execute it one time; they're always experimenting and adapting based on what they learn.

I have ideas that I think might be amusing, and I try them, and if they look right, I carry them out, and if they don't, I throw them out and try something else. I don't agonize about it.
