Just saw this video of writer Neil Gaiman's amazing commencement speech to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

This talk is way more awesome than anything I can write about it - but here are some snippets from a partial transcript on the link above:

"When you start out for a career in the arts, you have no idea what you're doing. This is great. You don't know what's impossible. If you don't know what's impossible, it's easier to do. Because no one has done it before, they haven't made up rules to stop anyone doing that particular thing again."

Sounds a lot like OST to me.

"I hope you'll make mistakes. When things get tough: make good art."

Similar to when there's problems - just open more space.

"No one knows what the landscape will look like two years from now, let alone a decade. The rules, assumptions are breaking down."

This is the place where OST works best... and great art.
