If you’re not willing to be a fool, even just for a minute, your creativity will suffer.

Creativity requires trying something new now and then. When you try something new, you’re not going to be very good at it at the start. So, there’s a chance you will make a fool out of yourself.

That’s OK. Start small. Start with people you can trust. Grow from there.

The alternative is to only do what has proven successful. But don’t expect anything to change or improve. And don’t expect growth. That would truly be foolish.
