Smart fool
You ever doubt that your ideas or thoughts on a topic are worthless and hence, you never end up actually articulating them? Only to find later, that someone else had the same thoughts and ideas and articulated them, long after you did?
Being a fool and being able to doubt yourself less is an important attribute that smart people ought to have.
Be a fool, but be smart about it.
If you want to be a creative person, then you’re gonna have to be creative in how you put your career together. There isn’t a path. Part of the creativity is making your path.

Goals and Processes
When we try to solve problems and provide solutions, we sometimes end up focussing too much on the process and less on what we want to achieve. What we forget is that the process is merely a facilitator, not the end goal.
Focussing on the end goal or where we want to be eventually, always helps. Process is good, but it is not the be all and end all.
