don't be goal driven...

not in everything...but when making something new, something which could be game changing, could be different, could be revolutionary.
being goal driven gets what you started out to get, and thats it. thats when you stop. the probability of creating something great, when you are goal driven, when you have the end picture defined, is remote. simply because your definition limits you.
instead, when starting out to make something which is unheard of, have a vague idea of what you want, have a set of objectives maybe, and start out. Build it brick by brick...always keeping the framework of objectives in view. Mostly when what your building has not been built before, knowing what all is required is impossible, and not required as well. Improvise and innovate as you go along, the only requirement is to insist on innovation, on being different.
Rework is many times good, if the future makes you change what you have already built, thats ok, as long as thats not all you keep on doing.
