To experiment is good. Just a few of my experiments turned into successful projects but I do not regret for wasting my time on the others. Each experiment helped me understand better the topic I was diving into and also made me a better person a long the way.
It is pretty sad that the majority of people avoid starting experiments because, a) experiments are often treated as projects, and b) projects could fail. Fear of failure is a huge thing nowadays. It is a bit ridiculous because the whole purpose of the experiment is not to make something work (make it successful) but just to test if something could work and as such experiments lead only to conclusions and nothing else. Sometimes experiments lead to successful projects though, but that is rare as I mentioned in the beginning of this post.
I am sure that this post is pretty meaningless to most of you but please understand that I am trying to convey a message here which I hope makes some change. The message is that people should do their own personal experiments all the time, checking, verifying and breaking the established dogmas. It is just a healthier way of living and it makes things a lot more exciting.
