Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep.
— SCOTT ADAMS
Lately I've encountered people who are down-right terrified to make mistakes as if rules and guidelines are a must in their survival. But I get it, sometimes it is scary like diving into the ocean or walking in the dark but the possibilities that can come from just trying. Even if it looks horrible, what if you can use that concept somewhere else? Or if the "mistake" is actually worth more to someone else.
During the college years of one of my teachers his classmate made a pot that he deemed to be crap and he sold it to my teacher for twenty bucks. Their professor told them that the pot was worth at least two-hundred dollars.
Now not all mistakes are not necessarily a good thing but you never know that mistake can turn into a happy accident.
