I was reading this blog post about strategies for finding a new job and one thing that struck me as very interesting and very pertinent was this: be known for your ideas.
What I took away from that thought is that its okay to be wrong. You won’t be considered stupid. But you are stupid if you don’t keep coming up with new ideas.
So get this straight.
#1 You are not stupid for having ideas, even if they are wrong.
#2 You are stupid if you aren’t constantly looking to come up with new ideas.
