THE BAD IDEAS LEAD TO THE GOOD IDEAS

Added on June 12, 2018 by Jason Lam.

Something I’ve learned from making art. It is often my failures and bad ideas that lead to the successes and good ideas. That is also why I’d get frustrated when others don’t allow me to fail and make mistakes. Because it’s often the misstep that leads to the right step, the epic fail that leads to the major success, and the fuck ups that lead to the come ups. Or as one of my favorite directors once said:

“Failure and success live next door to each other, and they have no numbers at the door. You just knock.”
- Guillermo del Toro
