I think too many of us ignore hunches we get from within telling us to try something different. There might be a bit of initial failure but once overcomed we're much the better. I actually don't even believe in failure, I just see it as a learning experience which we can grow from. Hi Brad, that’s a pretty good article to remind us that’s it’s ok to experiment.

Its interesting and a little odd you mentioned standing on your head in this column because I have a client who is taking a yoga class for the first time and a little over a week ago, was lamenting that she didn't think she would ever be able to do a headstand. My assistant and I encouraged her to take it a step at a time and keep trying. I have practiced yoga since I was 19 and the headstand is not too difficult if you learn the foundation of it first. As you get stronger, your balance improves, along with your confidence in your own abilities. A little like running your own business, I think. Anyway, she came in this morning all smiles and announced that she had indeed, done her first headstand this morning! Thanks for encouraging all of us to try new things. Life is good.

Children are good on making novel combinations. They can combine, and recombine something into different combinations no matter how incongruent or unusual :-p They are curious about many things. It's a good idea trying to imitate that traits. Yet,it's not easy, yah :-) Indeed. Children are good on making novel combinations.

I think we can understand so much more about 'learning' by watching toddlers. It's especially interesting for how quickly they pick things up without even trying.
