One of the main points she talks about is how important it is to start with small ideas and put them together instead of starting with a big idea which can be overwhelming. Many kids have a big idea of what they want to do and then get bogged down because there are so many restrictions. But its also hard to have some idea of what you want to do (small ideas) but then not know what to do with those ideas because there are too many options.
Being aware for new ideas
When people feel really strongly about what they want to do they aren't always open to new ideas that come to them that can be just as good if not better. You need to be able to always be open to new ideas even if it seems like it has nothing to do with your original idea. Sometimes the best, and most original, things come from two (or more) things that seem like they could never go together.
Perfection
I know that I have always had an issue with feeling like my work always has to be perfect. I have trouble brainstorming and trying things out because I want all my work to be good enough to be a final project. During the term i am going to try really hard to stay open to ideas and brainstorming.
