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.

    Laga iPhone 4 och 4S, Om du vill ha hög kvalité på din reparation och originalreservdelar har du kommit helt rätt. Våra iPhone 4S skärmenheter kommer huvudsakligen från TDK Holdings som är en av Apples större leverantörer, men vi har även skärmar från andra Apple leverantörer beroende på tillgången just för tillfället. Alla skärmar vi reparerar din telefon med består av original LCD och original bakgrundsljus och övriga delar av högsta kvalité. Om våra Apple-tekniker upptäcker att din telefon har viktiga delar som ej är monterade från tidigare reparationer, t.ex. skruvar, krockkuddar, skyddstejp eller plåtar så kompletterar vi det gratis så långt vi har sådant i lager för att vi ska kunna lämna garanti på vårt arbete. Utan dessa detaljer så kan signalstyrkan för mobil och WiFi väsentligt försämras, LCD plötsligt sluta fungera, batteritiden minskas osv.

    I’d personally appreciate to retire where air conditioning is not needed, plus a dog park with benches is nearby.
