Make more mistakes

Make more mistakes.

Mistakes. Errors.
Blunders. Bloomers.
Boo-boos. Fluffs.
Gaffes. Goofs.
Slip-ups. Hiccups.

Call them what you will, 
but they are all learning.
You need to make more
mistakes not less.
Because you know that
great idea you will have 
one day, it will come 
from a bunch of 
not-so-great ideas first.

Make more mistakes.

I could not agree more with this!

i just got the catalogue in the post and feel somewhat betrayed by it...all of a sudden i'm reading it with cynical eyes due to them being owned by Timberland. Yes, they've created a crate in the warehouse to do the photo shoot in but it wasn't out of financial poverty and trying to make ends meet but it was about trying to convey a particular image. Timberland could afford to fly them anywhere and it now it makes me feel a bit manipulated. Great images though!!

I tend to agree Ben, I couldn't help feel the "shed" motif was a bit obvious a "we wont be changed by the money... honestly!" plea. It will be interesting to see if sales change after the buy out/merger/deal.

When you are in the corner and have got no cash to move out from that point, you would need to take the loan. Just because it would help you emphatically. I take secured loan every time I need and feel good just because of this.
