All Ducks Do Not Walk in a Row (Mitch Ditkoff)

An article by Mitch Ditkoff acknowledging the value of doubt, uncertainty, confusion.

"Breakthrough results are not always the result of a revolutionary Eureka moment. Quite the opposite.

They are often the result of doubt, confusion, ambiguity, and experiments that go awry."

Great quote by Henry Miller "Confusion is simply a word we have invented for an order that is not yet understood."

Reminds me of renowned Australian artist Michael Leunig. In response to  the question "have you done anything heroic", Leunig replies: "...I'd say learning to live in a state of not knowing and not just grabbing at an easy solution or quick-fix philosophy to carry me through, to make me feel  secure and in control. Waiting, being patient in the chaos, is my achievement. It takes courage to knowingly live with some degree of incomprehension, to not be frightened by the black holes of life."1
