I mean, think what would have happened if Thomas Edison (who has more than a thousand inventions to his name) had stopped experimenting after his 50th (or so) attempt at creating the light bulb? Or if he didn't experiment at all? Well, we wouldn't have the light bulb today, now, would we? And that goes for so many other things we now enjoy. Of course, besides the willingness to experiment, you need to be aware of other important factors that must come into play when experimenting. For example, it's also critical when experimenting that:
Another good strategy you can use is to make it a habit of asking questions like the following, whenever you come up with an idea: "What if I did this?" Or, "What would happen if I did this?" Or, "What if I...(then simply finish the question based on your situation)?"
Questions that start with "What if...?" or "What would happen if...?" are powerful questions. (You see, those kinds of questions also motivate you to want to find out what will happen... in order to satisfy your curiosity.)
I can't stress enough the importance of developing this quality in yourself... the willingness -- the courage - to experiment. Looking back at my own life, had I not experimented as much as I did, many of the ideas I had in mind would have stayed that way... just ideas. That's why I strongly encourage experimentation. Not only do I know that it works, I also know that it's highly rewarding. (It's a wonderful feeling to see an idea--something that was once only in your head--turn into something that others can benefit from.)
Again, just remember, it's not enough to be willing to experiment. It's also important that you don't give up when there's resistance (resistance from within yourself or outside yourself... for example, the negative feedback of others). Because if you do, you'll never achieve your desired results. Persistence is a very important quality. In fact, so important that President Calvin Coolidge said the following:
If your inner critic is trying to hold you back, I suggest you completely ignore it. Then just go ahead and experiment, experiment, experiment. (In fact, be a person who constantly experiments. Be an "experimenter.") And see just how far you can go with your ideas. I can promise you that the emotional rewards will be great.
