Quote wall: Issa Rae

On the bulletin board above my desk, I keep a handful of quotes that have taught me something, or that I hope to learn from.

Here's one:

I make excellent mistakes.

—Issa Rae, on Twitter

There are probably many ways to interpret this one; everyone will bring themselves to the quote, and understand it differently. I take it as this: Every mistake offers a lesson; every lesson builds you into the artist you're becoming. Every mistake is valuable.
