Innovators and early adopters (fifteen percent of a group of people according to the Early Adoption Cycle) love to do just this — play with new things, try them out, see how they work.

I love to work with people like this who are willing to try something and learn from the experience.

What if it doesn’t do all that you want?

Leave it on the shelf.  Suggest improvements.  Learn from it and try something else. Many have said, if you aren’t making mistakes you aren’t trying anything new or you’re not learning (how did you learn to ride a bicycle, to type, or to ski/snowboard?). Rita Mae Brown discussed the definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. Without trying new things we cease to learn.
