Failure

Do you realize that another phrase for “experiment” is “multiple failure”? Failure is 100 percent essential to the creative life. Failure is 100 percent essential to a fully lived human life. I really believe perfectionism might be the biggest enemy to human joy. The compulsion to get it right all the time = ego! The compulsion to be well regarded by others = ego! Perfectionism is also probably the biggest enemy to good art. All the artists I know who are making anything interesting have made a ton of things that aren’t interesting. Seriously, “talent” doesn’t have that much to do with it. Persistence is more like it. Endurance. Consistency. As Benjamin Franklin said (or possibly it was just my friend’s dad): “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”

People who are regarded as geniuses in their fields, statistically speaking, don’t just simply have a few really good ideas; they have hundreds and hundreds of ideas, and one or two of them turns out to be astonishing. Live boldly. You don’t have to exactly revel in your failures, but don’t regard your failures as a sign you’re doing something wrong. Regard your failures as signposts that you are making your path.
