Same goes for doing a common thing. Sometimes it is actually better to do things that are out of the norm. There are just down times in life and then not all that we start to venture will get us the result that we want. It can also give us some test first before we achieve the success, so we just keep on moving. If one doesn't work, then try again on the other, though I think there might be some who are destined to be doomed and fail forever but at least they are still alive and maybe they can still find happiness on other simple things instead. We can seek advice but we can also experiment and add more to it, especially if it doesn't work well.
