  • Here is something for me to reflect upon regarding the ideas I had while experimenting. I don’t experiment much, and when I try something new, I tend to act like a sore loser if I’m not immediately good at it. Over time, I realized that having a bad idea is not actually a bad thing. If we stop trying new things because we think our ideas are bad, our brain begins to associate bad ideas with failure, and eventually we will stop trying something new in fear of failing.

    On the other hand, I learned that having a good initial idea doesn’t mean we must cling to it exactly as it is up until the end of a project. Often, we need to adjust and refine our ideas to accommodate scalability and project completion.

    Interesting point.

    Im much more likely to experiment with home projects , try new approaches,  learn new things. Failure is learning.If I fail this time, no one cares. I do dislike letting out magic smoke.  When I am victorious,  I celebrate with myself like a Cheshire cat, have an extra twinkie with tea. 

    At the office or in the field, we have to weigh risk and reward. If I experiment and crash a $200,000 an hour process, its not highly regarded, especially if the experiment had a minimal value. If the we do design of experiments that minimally impact quality and production to learn where to make effective changes, that is encouraged. 

    Agree with you 100% , steering the rudder for mid course corrections are desirable and necessary.
