So ideas come all the time, right?

There are all kinds of ideas.

There are good ideas.

There are not so good ideas.

There are really exciting ideas, maybe some boring ones.

But if you...

Are you really interested in doing something different?

Then you need to be willing to take the risk to be wrong.

And that's incredibly difficult.

Even though we talked about the idealist sort of notion behind science that we ultimately want to be rejected or our ideas need to be rejected for the entire infrastructure to move forward.

There is a level of risk-taking, I think, behind...

any creative idea.

And I mean that in a true sense.

If you are disappointed that your idea didn't work, then it wasn't a risk, because you still hoped that it will work.

True risk is that you accept that it may not work, so that the failure shouldn't also surprise you.

Not consciously, I wouldn't say so, but I eliminated a lot of the things out of my work line by simply not feeling like studying them.

I was bored chasing certain questions.

Yes, it should definitely be, whatever you're doing should be exciting to you.

If there's only one person that should be ever excited about what you're doing, that should be you.

And that's enough for that idea to go somewhere.
