Recently, I was part of the Traveling Geeks tour of UK tech, including the Reboot Britain conference. (The Geeks are a collection of talented journalists, and myself.)
I was struck by the repeated comment that failure is stigmatized in UK business culture. In Silicon Valley, failure is just a normal phase of one's career. You might succeed in your first endeavor, probably not, so you're ready to persist in subsequent efforts.
That is, there's some expectation of failure and the expectation that you'll get over it.
This is not unique to Silicon Valley, but it's far more expected here than anywhere I've heard. The attitude is the norm here, but in a lot of places failure continues to be stigmatized, and it's hard to recover.
It seems that widespread innovation and success requires the acceptance of failure, and then a readiness to move on.
That's generally true in Silicon Valley, maybe needs to be true in the UK and maybe everywhere else.
Thank you for this wealth of information and beautiful photos.

We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?
