I think Richard's point on the card above is well-stated. When teaching photography I often tell my students that it's necessary to take a lot of bad photos in order to make a few good ones. In my painting and mixed media and mail art I accept the goofs, mistakes, failures, etc, because I'm more interested in the process than the product.
Of course things, are different if it's someone's job to end up with a product. I can also see the satisfaction derived from providing a product that is useful to a client, provides a solution, or one that someone simply enjoys. Other than in photography, which is a different subject than what I'm referring to here, I've never had the kind of skills I would be able to apply in that way, so in painting, mixed media and mail art, I concentrate on what I find interesting. And it has been fun.
