James Dyson’s advice to the class of 2022 at the opening of Dyson STEAM Building, Gresham’s School

“Be different, embrace failure, discover your mojo, believe in your ideas, ignore the naysayers. Instead, through science, engineering, the arts, ideas, and ingenuity, shape the world in your image: for the better. My hope is that the Dyson STEAM building will nurture just these ideas. Never give up in your quest to see them through.” - Sir James Dyson.
Speaking at the opening of the Dyson STEAM Building at Gresham’s school, Sir James Dyson shared some reflections with the graduating class of 2022.
The Dyson STEAM Building brings together the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (STEAM) in one space and was funded by an £18.75m donation from Sir James and Lady Deirdre Dyson.
The significant, personal donation reflects the gratitude Sir James has for the school. Sir James has previously said:
“My brother was eleven, I was nine and we had just started at Gresham’s. In those days there was no life insurance so the Headmaster, Logie Bruce Lockhart, said that me and my brother could board here essentially free of charge. Without that my education here would not have been possible and the school essentially brought me up. It is great to now be able to give something back to the school.”
Dedicated to James’s father, Alec Dyson, the Dyson STEAM Building encourages art and science to be taught side-by-side so pupils can use the knowledge gained from one discipline in a creative way in another - to inspire future engineers.

This is what a speech is supposed to do, make you think, motivate and admire the person who is speaking.

Its interesting , how he made his route to success , power and capability , a difficult thing to achieve by any manner . I like his idealism about life , a engineering mindset mixed with curiosity , determination and mixed with art. A life to be proud of , to create things that did not previously exist.

Wonderful and inspirational speach!

Is he now paying taxes, or are their still tax brakes for him and his company? Is Dyson a UK company?
Who cares, what a wonderful speech.

I care. Tax Avoiders are subsidised by Tax Payers.

Be rich, go to a private school, don’t manufacture in the UK, avoid taxes as far as possible, sidle up to the Tories.
