thinking people way
No, the only way to know what people think is to watch what they do, not what they say. Do they come back for more? Do you cause them to change their behavior? Can you make them smile?
artist maps being-an-artist
There's no map for being an artist.
running reality perfect
If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. Your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. Your tenth one might not be either. Confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. Shrug. Admit defeat. Hit delete. One more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. Of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.
marketing want messages
Marketers want to get their messages in front of you. They must get their messages in front of you, just to survive. The only problem is-do you really want more marketing messages?
art passion ideas
In contemporary art or movies, it makes perfect sense to be focused on the bleeding edge, on the new idea that's never been previously contemplated. But when we're discussing our goals, our passion and the way we interact with the culture, it seems to me that what works is significantly more important than what's new.
hard-work promise world
Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.
goal perfect definitions
If you don't like your definition of 'good enough', then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.
doors world way
Solving problems—actually solving them, not just claiming you do—solving perceived, urgent problems, is a surefire way to get the world to beat a path to your door.
two brave kind
Increasingly, there are only two kinds of companies: brave and dead.
art wall creativity
Art is frightening. Art isn't pretty. Art isn't painting. Art isn't something you hang on the wall. Art is what we do when we're truly alive. An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it (all of it, the work, the process, the feedback from those we seek to connect with) personally.
mirrors important next
The mirror we hold up to the person next to us is one of the most important pictures she will ever see.
hands problem grudge
The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else.
thinking organization way
... outsiders are way more likely to approach your organization with fabulous projects if they think they're likely to both get a good reception and succeed when they get to market.
unattainable want attention
Mass attention is almost unattainable and it's not clear that you want it.
