Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.04,0:04:42.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But moreover,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.40,0:04:44.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got interested in building robots
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.56,0:04:47.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I wanted to teach myself\Nabout hardware.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.84,0:04:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But building things with hardware,\Nespecially if you're teaching yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.36,0:04:53.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is something that's really\Ndifficult to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.76,0:04:55.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has a high likelihood of failure
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.68,0:04:56.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and moreover,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.92,0:04:59.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it has a high likelihood\Nof making you feel stupid.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.72,0:05:01.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that was my biggest fear at the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.64,0:05:08.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I came up with a setup that would\Nguarantee success 100 percent of the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.92,0:05:12.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With my setup, it would be\Nnearly impossible to fail.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.32,0:05:15.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that was that instead\Nof trying to succeed,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.32,0:05:17.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was going to try to build\Nthings that would fail.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.36,0:05:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And even though I didn't\Nrealize it at the time,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.64,0:05:25.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,building stupid things\Nwas actually quite smart,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.60,0:05:28.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because as I kept on\Nlearning about hardware,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.28,0:05:29.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the first time in my life,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.76,0:05:32.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did not have to deal\Nwith my performance anxiety.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.88,0:05:36.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as soon as I removed\Nall pressure and expectations from myself,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.60,0:05:39.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that pressure quickly\Ngot replaced by enthusiasm
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.00,0:05:41.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it allowed me to just play.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.88,0:05:44.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So as an inventor,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.16,0:05:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm interested in things\Nthat people struggle with.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.52,0:06:03.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So before I came here,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.08,0:06:06.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I sat down and I thought of some\Nof the potential problems I might have
