Waiting For Perfect Is Never As Smart

What Makes Someone An Artist? I Don't Think Is Has Anything To Do With A Paintbrush. There Are Painters Who Follow The Numbers, Or Paint Billboards, Or Work In A Small Village In China, Painting Reproductions. These Folks, While Swell People, Aren't Artists. On The Other Hand, Charlie Chaplin Was An Artist, Beyond A Doubt. So Is Jonathan Ive, Who Designed The Ipod. You Can Be An Artist Who Works With Oil Paints Or Marble, Sure. But There Are Artists Who Work With Numbers, Business Models, And Customer Conversations. Art Is About Intent And Communication, Not Substances.

Every Day I Meet People Who Have So Much To Give But Have Been...frighten Ed Enough To Hold It Back. It's Time To Stop Complying With The System And Draw Your Own Map. You Have Brilliance In You, Your Contribution Is Essential, And The Art You Create Is Precious. Only You Can Do It, And You Must.

'good Enough' Stopped Being Good Enough A Long Time Ago. So Why Not Be Great?

I Intentionally Abandoned The Hard Stuff Early On Because Not Only Do I Think It's Useless, I Think It's A Distraction.

Art Is The Work Of A Human Being – Something A Person Does With Generosity To Touch Someone Else To Make A Change For The Better.
