Ik hoop dat je komend jaar veel fouten maakt.

Omdat als je faalt, je nieuwe dingen maakt, nieuwe dingen probeert, leeft, jezelf vooruit helpt, jezelf en de wereld verandert. Je doet dingen die je nooit eerder deed. En belangrijker: je doet iets! Sta niet stil, stop niet en maak je geen zorgen dat iets niet goed genoeg of niet perfect is.

Wat het ook is, kunst, liefde, werk, familie of het leven zelf. Alles waar je bang voor bent, doe het! Maak fouten, het komend jaar en altijd.
