Getting Lucky 🍀

Creating something awesome requires more volume than you might think.  The temptation is do it one time exactly right.  Block off the day and get laser focused on making it as close to perfect as possible.  Maybe you’ll get lucky and end up with something really awesome.

I heard about a research project with some art students.  The three hour class was split in two.

Group 1 was told to each make the best clay pot possible 

Group 2 was told to each make as many clay pots as they could

The first group focused all their time and attention on perfecting their pots. The 2nd group made tons of pots. Some were terrible, some were good, and luckily some were almost perfect.  Through sheer volume Group 2 learned the most and had far superior pots. 

The Lesson? Volume greatly increases the surface area for luck to land.
