Leonardo Da Vinci

I've been thinking more about the culture debate, and also about this competitive thing for people to be talented and make 'Money For Britain' out of their skills.
Everybody forgets about experimenting- and more important, failure.
I am certain that Leonardo Da Vinci chucked all his crappy paintings on the fire each night when he was cooking his sausages for tea, only leaving the super-dooper ones for us to put in art galleries centuries later.
