And yet learning comes from making mistakes, just remember
when YOU as a kid flew on your knees or off the bike. Have you
given up?
"I am best at what I can't do.
It has become my ability to feel strong and confident in these sit-
uations. I feel free to move, to listen to my heart, to learn, to act even
if that means I will make mistakes.
If you want a creative life, do what you can't and experience the
beauty of the mistakes you make."
Quoted in A Whole New Mind, Daniel H. Pink and originally by Marcel Wanders (www.marcelwanders.com)
We definitely have to allow doing mistakes in order to learn for that world that will ever
be increasing complex in the future.

Hey Ralf,
this is a good post and reminder. Even for a guy having a company with a following slogan: More Action. More Chaos. More Mistakes. More Learning.
Love your mistakes. Learn from them. Actually, look what my dictionary says about the origin of the word amatuer:
ORIGIN late 18th cent.: from French, from Italian amatore, from Latin amator ‘lover,’ from amare ‘to love.’
To be an amateur is to do/work on things that you love. And if you love the things you do I think you are also a successful, authentic entrepreneur who changes the world by her work.
Good stuff. Keep it yellow!

Ville,
Thanks and looking forward to learn more up in Finland.
Being an amateur is great:-)) Amateurs can reach large goals, as the amateur football clubs always make the big ones aware of - when the defeat them.
There must be some other fuel to creativity than just the big money famous players earn.
Cheers,
Ralf
