Every meaningful success I've ever been involved with has come through a messy, unpredictable process. It usually begins with curiosity, moves quickly to data and information accumulation, then right into trying things and . . . failing (I've made a lot of mistakes).
The good news is that this process invariably creates the actual knowledge required to try again, albeit more intelligently (assuming, of course, that you don't overreact or give up).
Creative people understand this curious dilemma. They accept that failure is the only way to gain the intelligence and wisdom that's needed to move their work forward.
George Bernard Shaw wrote, "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing."
Mistakes are not a sign of indifference; they're evidence of a deeply caring individual. Please make more.
