an incomplete manifesto of growth


I wish I could forget all the negativity and go with the flow of the Manifesto of Growth.. 
If there was time or if I could make time, I would follow this religiously. 

Drift. Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism

Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.

Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.

Make mistakes faster. This isn't my idea -- I borrowed it. I think it belongs to Andy Grove.

Begin anywhere. John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.

Stay up late. Strange things happen when you’ve gone too far, been up too long, worked too hard, and you're separated from the rest of the world.
