Too Weird

There are few plans so weird or so ‘out-there’ that they’re completely unworkable, especially with a little tweaking. The way to tell if you can use a wild idea is to try it on for size. I mean, just go there and you can tweak it on the way. The process of examining it from different angles might make another solution or plan reveal itself.

Don’t limit yourself to only things that will probably work. On the way to “no way that will work” is “well maybe this aspect of it could work,” and if you weren’t going for “way out there” you could have never found the aspect that is on the way.

Here is an example. Lets say you want to plan to make a movie. You have no experience and no equipment, no nothing but a dream. Call someone who is already in posession of a movie camera and ask to borrow it. They may say yes. They may let you go with them and use it. Who knows. One thing could lead to another. The reality of it is, people w ho have no experience or money or anything have made movies before. That is how film noir started. You might blaze a new trail because you know nothing that has been done before. Sometimes that is a blessing.
