I tend to try to forge my own path, and just use "mistakes" to my advantage. I was a baker as a kid - perhaps I took from that the ability to manipulate screw-ups into useable, and sometimes better looking, product.
One of my favorite quotes from the late Mitch Hedberg: "I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later"
