And you end up with the potential for success.

I seem to have the ability to fall flat on my face more developed than the others.

Don’t forget a willingness to take a break now and then. Mind you, my definition of the phrase “now and then” seems a little skewed, as I spend much of my time relaxing.

I agree! I file breaks under acting strategically. I’ve done the whole work ’til you drop thing and I am definitely less productive than when I’m scheduling a good work routine that doesn’t grind me down.

a nice summing up – you have to be prepared for things to go wrong and carry on anyway. Or, as we used to say in juggling, if you’re not making mistakes you aren’t learning. If you’re embarrassed about dropping the balls you’re not going to come up with anything new!

True! You have to add the right amount of weight/chaos/complexity to whatever your capabilities are in order to grow them. 🙂

Never rule out the benefit of looking like an idiot now and again, it’s good for character. Puts hair on your chest.
