How do you come up with these things?

I agree that what sounds good in theory is quite often a bust when it comes to practical application. I’ve experienced this so many times in life myself. There’s nothing like ‘doing’ it first hand!

Very interesting thoughts! I think the reason most people take the waterfall approach is because of our fear of failure. It is much easier to do rapid prototyping when we can say, “I’m going to try something and it might work and it might not, but either way, I’ll learn something.”

I think our approach to failure plays a big part in our ability to succeed.

Agree with you!
It is vital for us to experience ,not to sit there and plan everyday.

Some of my friends don’t know what job they love or what job are suitable for them even after they finish university. I think the reason is that they have not tried to be a intern ever, instead, they just think they like XX, but the difficulties in doing XX are much more than what they expect.

Thanks, good post!
