The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation.
-Jacob Bronowski via the outstanding book The Social Atom by Mark Buchanan
My secret to success in innovation – try something (anything!). See if it works. If it does, do more of it. If it doesn’t work, figure out why and learn from it. Repeat.
What a deft summation! That’s the way it has to work. You also have to ignore thoughtless criticism, which is possibly the most difficult task of all – weeding out useful critiquing from the non-useful. The non-useful is usually offered by people who are firmly stuck in the contemplation stage themselves. 😀
