Key to Creativity is Error Recovery, Not Failure Avoidance

If you’re doing something that’s never been done before, how can you make the perfect plan? Whether it’s an art concept, a picture, a business model, or a meal: you can’t. Innovation, by definition, has no road map. Important: the same goes with creativity. That’s why I like people who “do” and fail, a helluva lot more than people who just sit around and talk about it.

Randy Nelson of Pixar says it more eloquently. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.”

I think this–and many additional ideas in this video–are brilliant.

    Thanks for the different tips discussed on this web site. I have realized that many insurers offer prospects generous savings if they decide to insure multiple cars with them. A significant variety of households possess several autos these days, particularly people with old teenage children still dwelling at home, along with the savings for policies might soon begin. So it pays to look for a good deal.

    My husband and i got now peaceful that John managed to conclude his investigation through the ideas he was given from your own weblog. It’s not at all simplistic to simply choose to be giving away instructions which some people may have been selling. We acknowledge we have the website owner to thank for this. The main explanations you made, the simple blog menu, the relationships your site aid to foster – it’s most extraordinary, and it’s really facilitating our son and the family know that that article is satisfying, and that’s really essential. Thanks for everything!

    Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.
