Professor Tu mentioned a idiom "success is foreseeing failure", which was proposed by a Arabian scientist in a conference about risk-based engineering saftey.
then I searched it using google, and found a book, named " "To Engineer is Human" by Henry Petroski .
There was a great comment on this book , written as"
Engineering, like poetry, is an attempt to approach perfection. And engineers, like poets, are seldom completely satisfied with their creations.
No one wants to learn by mistakes, but we cannot learn enough from successes to go beyond the state of the art."
Very good, I like it.
and now i'll try to find this book.
