As we get older people become more adamant about not doing things wrong. In fact its normal and necessary to strive for perfection in many adult scenarios, for instance if you have to go in for surgery, you definitely don't want a guy who just gets by, by doing things half assed doing your surgery.

But I think in art things are different. Art is like play. You do something and well if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't, no one is going to die. But as we go around doing or trying to do everything perfect in our lives, trying to stay within the lines on the freeway so we don't hit another car beside us, well when it comes to creativity we forget to let ourselves to do it wrong till we get it right. I think many of us quit before ever giving ourselves a chance to fail many times till we get it right or simply create a new way of doing things never done before.

Fear of failure, fear of looking foolish, fear of not being accepted. Well who cares. You need a License to get it wrong. A License to fail in life and maybe only then can you succeed.  Unlearn what you've learned and Learn to do it wong.
