You have no idea what you are doingand thats good.

You have no idea what you are doingand thats good. You have no idea what you are doingand thats good. Author Neil Gaimans brilliant commencement speech at  Philadelphias University of the Arts. I think this statement is true for many professions: When you start out on a career in the arts you have no idea what you are doing. This is great. People who know what they are doing know the rules, and know what is possible and impossible. You do not. And you should not. The rules on what is possible and impossible in the arts were made by people who had not tested the bounds of the possible by going beyond them. And you can. If you dont know its impossible its easier to do. And because nobodys done it before, they havent made up rules to stop anyone doing that particular thing again.
