Failure is inevitable if you are unable to convince, persuade or actually make people believe in what you are producing. In the film "Finding Neverland" a play about children and make believe and pirates and fairies and flying boys was a huge success. While the movie may not portray actual facts (I have not done the research) the fact that the author James M. Barrie had twenty five seats set aside for orphans--amidst the English upper crust-- on opening night speaks directly to what I have learned. The children from the get go bought the story and believed. They laughed and giggled and applauded. They gave an honest response one that was contagious to adults. The children enabled the audience as a whole to let down its guard and preconceptions and just believe.
And how did James M. Barrie come up with the idea? He was told that none of the doctors and lawyers and upper crust of English society would believe in the play. So he stacked the audience with true believers.
That is what I learned, and yes it has an instrumental effect on Ideas In Food.
