Notes On A Revolution

I have a new post up at Uncluttered White Spaces, looking at the art of making mistakes, and the challenge we inherit when we stop making them:

When you’re right though, that’s when the trouble starts. That’s when the business grows. That’s when the phone rings. When you’re right it’s a call to arms, it is life asking you to step outside your comfort zone. You can of course ignore the call, and stay being right, but who aspires to a lifetime spent saying “I told you so”? Being right is an opportunity to be wrong, to make a whole new set of mistakes, to learn that which cannot be taught in a classroom. And the only benefit that comes from being right is more opportunity to be wrong. That is, my friends, a good thing. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat, complacency did.

Hope you enjoy, and I’d love your feedback, over there or in the comments below.
