What is your Yeah, but?
Thursday, October 16th, 2008
I really liked this poster by Dean Groom. My “Yeah, but…” at the moment is “Yeah, but I’m not ready for the public to see.” The main graphic for my research website isn’t ready, I haven’t finished the templates, I haven’t gone and anonymised all of the documents that should be on there, I haven’t done this, I haven’t done that.
Sir Ken Robinson says in his TED Talk Do Schools Today Kill Creativity?:
“If you’re not prepared to be wrong then you will never come up with anything original.”
My discovery of the week? I need to be prepared to be wrong. And I need to be prepared to just “have a go” and “get it out there” rather than sit on my virtual hands and wait until it is virtually perfect. Because that won’t happen and it only ends up creating my “Yeah, but.”
