Sir Ken Robinson

If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.

A well-known line from Robinson's February 2006 TED talk 'Do Schools Kill Creativity?', in the passage arguing that children will take a chance and are not frightened of being wrong. The same argument appears in his book 'Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative'. Wording in the talk is 'If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original' — matches the corpus text.
