Success often requires a willingness to pivot and try new approaches from "summary" of Range by David Epstein
To get it right, we often have to start by getting it wrong. Success in life rarely comes from a direct, deliberate path. Instead, it is often the result of a willingness to pivot and try new approaches when the initial plan doesn't pan out. This concept is especially true in a complex, unpredictable world where the rules are constantly changing. The most successful people are not those who stick doggedly to a single plan or path, but those who are able to adapt and adjust as circumstances require. They understand that failure is not a dead end, but an opportunity to learn and grow. It is this ability to pivot and try new approaches that allows them to navigate the uncertain terrain of the modern world. In a world that prizes specialization and expertise, it can be tempting to stick to what we know and avoid taking risks. However, this approach can be limiting and ultimately counterproductive. By being open to new ideas and willing to pivot when necessary, we can discover new opportunities and achieve success in unexpected ways.- But to be willing to explore different options and adapt as needed. This requires a willingness to take risks, to fail, and to learn from our mistakes. It is this process of trial and error that ultimately leads to success. By embracing uncertainty and being open to new approaches, we can chart a course that leads to success in a rapidly changing world.
