(Medical-NewsWire.com, January 03, 2013 ) Goshen, MA – Should you try to learn from bad experiences? One psychotherapist states that the only thing to be learned from something bad that happened is that you’d be better off not having had that experience in the first place. However, the author of the new book Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work suggests examining mistakes as a gateway for valuable personal and professional discoveries (http://www.yudkin.com/inspired.htm ).
“Countless scientific discoveries, like vulcanization, came about because someone did something hasty or wrong and noticed a surprising result,” says Yudkin, a noted marketing mentor and the author of 16 previous books. “The noticing part is what can turn a mistake into a profitable opportunity.”
To try to turn every “oops” into an “aha,” Yudkin suggests:
* Always asking, “Is there an opportunity hiding in this blunder?” Often enough there is, making you less likely to moan about the mistake having wasted your time, money or energy.
* Planning ahead to minimize the damage of mistakes that are bound to occur.
* Periodically reviewing your mistakes and examining them for lessons.
* Trying to learn from others’ mistakes as well.
* Giving stupid ideas a chance. Sometimes the most ridiculous proposals turn out to have a core of innovative potential in them.
Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work also includes research, anecdotes, suggestions and techniques for heightened creativity, better problem solving, more fruitful idea generation and much more. The book is available in paperback for $19.95 at Amazon.com or BN.com and for $9.99 in Amazon’s Kindle store or Barnes & Noble’s Nook store.
