Clueless Power
This is a great article about the power of being dumb. Okay, maybe not dumb, but at least clueless. I would say the success I've had on the web and in almost all areas of my life is because I'm naive enough to think anything is possible.
The clueless accomplish amazing things--not necessarily because we're bold, brilliant innovators, but perhaps because we just don't know any better. We see the simplicity of the forest while Those Who Know are overanalyzing the complex subtleties of the trees (and miss the point). Sometimes NOT knowing about a "problem" weakens (or eliminates) it...
...What if "clueless" is simply a label the glass-half-empty folks give the glass-half-full folks. If we're optimistic, we must not have a clue. What if we simply see the world through a different lens? A lens that opens doors and windows the cynical and pessimistic are too busy dissing to notice?
Read the whole article (2 minutes).
