Aug 19, 2015
People who know what they are doing know the rules They are bound by what is possible and what is
impossible
If you don’t know its impossible its easier to
do
And because no one else has done it before, no one has made rules to stop you from doing it
There are things you need to do before you can get to the place you
want to be
Sometime in your career, you do not know whether you are making
the right move
As long as you are walking towards the mountain you
will be fine
Say no to opportunities, however lucrative they be, if they take you away from
the mountain
If you did work you are proud of, even if you did not get the
money,
at least you will have
the work
No matter what profession you are in , you have the
ability to make art.
MAKE GOOD ART
It gets you through good times and it gets you
through bad times
You don’t have to be as good as everyone
else if you are on time and it is a
pleasure to hear from you
Step back and enjoy your work and the little
successes
Do not worry about the next deadline, the next job. Do not worry about
what comes next
The rules of how you get your work seen is breaking down. You
can be as creative as you wish to get your
work seen.
The old rules are
crumbling
Have no idea what you are
doing
Make interesting Mistakes
Let go and ENJOY the RIDE
MAKE GOOD ART
Always move
towards the MOUNTAIN
DONT do work for the money
Secret recipe to success
MAKE Up YOUR OWN Rules
