The Mozart Draft Principle
History
Mozart wasn’t just a genius who wrote perfect music in one sitting. He sketched. He drafted. He returned to unfinished notes and refined them. His brilliance lived in the drafts, not in perfection.
Reflection
We think genius = finished product. In truth, genius = daring to draft. The unfinished holds the seed of brilliance.
