On Monday I go out into the community to begin my survey of consumer awareness of sustainable seafood. I’ve got my questions ready, I’ve found a tripod, I’m charging my camera, I’ve prepared treats, and I’ve picked up some sustainable seafood pocket guides.
I’m nervous as hell.
I’m really putting myself out there and I’m afraid no one will take the time to talk to me. If this fails, I don’t know how Part 1 of my project will progress. I’ve baked treats to try and entice people to talk to me. I hope I’ll be taken seriously. It would really be frustrating if, after all this prep, my plan falls through.
But I guess that happens a lot in science. You create an experiment to try and test a theory, and everything goes wrong. And back to the drawing board you go.
As Thomas Edison said, “Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.”
