We're Not in Kansas Anymore




It is said that repetition is the key of all learning. Yawn. People who repeat and memorize go to factory line. After climbing the ladder for 15 years, they still j u s t produce sausages from the CEO's stool. Not ranking any professions here but attitudes.

Key of all learning, whether real life or work, is testing. People who test question what they learn, produce and invent. They develop and create. At best by sharing and being open they can excel themselves. Testing alone and with a group. Testing your idea and your comfort zone. 

Being present in what you do is experiencing, which on the other hand in most cases is not easy nor nice. However, succeeding is not dependent on thick skin. In this process of testing you only have to test yourself and be able to change.

The question of originality and creativity is topical in all fields. Also MariKoo had her say on the subject over Uutisraivaaja competition. Pls check the open discussion and ideas around this competition. Surely we're able to do the same?




Ego. Scared to fall flat on your face. Then not giving 100 %. Not sticking your face out because afraid of demeaning. Afraid of not being good enough or somebody stealing your idea. Perfection and envy are the archenemies of creativity. In stead of being open to what ever you shut away.
