Learning to be bad

[forgotten_aria]

You gotta be bad before you can be good. Success usually only occurs after many failures. So right now I'm struggling with learning how to fail.

I wrote a pretty darn cheesy song, and when it is done I will share it's horrible cheesy glory. Did I mention I'm rapping... not something I should do.

Let's hope I can keep on just doing.

Heh. I remember explaining this to a grad student who was worried that he'd do something badly the first time I tried it. I think my phrasing was "You're not going to get to good without spending some time in suck."

Strangely, it worked.

Oh yes. And even knowing it to be true can be difficult to accept -- even more so if one's been doing primarily things one is good at recently.
