  1. That is one my most favorite quotes… In my field (web design/development) you’re forced to taken on this mindset or risk being left behind.

  3. What a wonderful quote! It sums up so many things right there, thanks for sharing Senia I’ve never heard it before :)

  4. Yep, I feel like that a lot. Except I don’t do it on purpose :)

  5. Alvin, great! My grandma and I once had a debate about this (whether you learn from doing things you don’t know how to do), and we decided that yes, this quote sums it up concisely.

    Congrats, Grim, on being that way!

  7. Senia,

    Yeah well, sometimes an attitude like that comes back to bite me in the bum.

  8. Great quote and its so true. I never realized that before. I find myself constantly having to do things I don’t know how to do, especially things with computers. I get intimidated by it all. I’m fine with people; it’s just those computers! Grrrr.

  9. […] And Senia gives us this wonderful quote by Pablo Picasso: I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. […]

  10. Elona: don’t get intimidated by computers…as long as there’s no smoke coming out it’s probably fine what you’re doing :)

  11. If you have ever been to the Picasso Museum in Antibes, France, and examined rooms full of ceramic plates with his “painting” which were obviously produced at the rate of 100 a day, you will understand exactly what he meant by the quote and that no greater marketeer existed than Picasso.
