Grit

The Art of Patience

Wow – what a few months it has been. I have been very quiet on the digital front, but lots has been happening behind the scenes and continuing themes of patience emerge. The latest prototype (the LR5) wasn’t quite accurate enough for the tolerances needed for the product to work so we had to go back to the drawing board in some respect and re-design some parts.

It is not the critic who counts:

I’m no stranger to feelings of doubt and a lack of confidence, especially in the context of failing. We are all told from a very early age that failure is synonymous with negativity and bad feelings – you did something wrong and you should be punished for it. This could not be further from the truth.
