An Artists Is Someone Who Does Something

In Basic Terms, Civilization Is Dependent Upon The Spontaneity And Fulfillment Of The Individual. Your Civilization Is In Sad Straits. Not Because You Are Allowed Spontaneity Or Fulfillment To Individuals, But Because You Are Denied It, And Because Your Institutions Are Based Upon That Premise.

And Yet The Real Success Goes To Those Who Obsess. The Focus That Leads You Through The Dip To The Other Side Is Rewarded By A Marketplace In Search Of The Best In The World. A Woodpecker Can Tap Twenty Times On A Thousand Trees And Get Nowhere, But Stay Busy. Or He Can Tap Twenty-thousand Times On One Tree And Get Dinner.

The Goal Isn't To Do Work And Hand It In Just Before It's Due. The Goal Is To Do The Work As Beautifully As You Can, Faster Than Anyone Else, So You Can Do More Work.

If You'd Rather Be A Chooser, Enter A Market Or A Transaction Where You Have Something To Trade, Something Of Value, Something To Offer That's Difficult To Get Everywhere Else. If All You Have Is The Desire To Get Picked, That's Not Sufficient.

If You Are In Poor Health, You Can Remedy It. If Your Personal Relationships Are Unsatisfactory, You Can Change Them For The Better. If You Are In Poverty, You Can Find Yourself Surrounded By Abundance... Each Of You, Regardless Of Position, Status, Circumstances, Or Physical Condition, Is In Control Or Your Own Experience.
