I believe that everyone falls into two broad categories, scientists or artists. The beautiful thing about art is that it is unique and original.
Although replicability leads to scalability, which in turn makes you rich. Yet, it is being an artist that gives you the ability to make something worth replicating.
All great scientist start out as artists.
I challenge everyone to unleash their inner artist irrespective of their jobs or professions.
Art is an original gift, a connection that changes the recipient, a human ability to make a difference. Art isn’t a painting or even a poem; it’s something that any of us can do. If you interact with others, you have the platform to create something new, something that changes everything. I call that art.
Art is the opposite of trigonometry. Art never follows instructions or a manual or a boss’s orders. Instead, art is the very human act of creating the uncreated, of connecting with another person at a human level. What we’ve seen is that more and more markets will reward art, while putting out compliant work to the lowest bidder.
I am idea-man, execution is not my strong suit. I have started many things in my life, and only seen a fraction to the end. I blame this on my ADD and my need thrill-seeking mentality. I find myself bored way too often. This causes me to jump ship on a project
Earlier in life this caused much frustration. I found myself angry that I was getting no where in life. Then I realized I had been many places
I started several companies, embarked on various projects, only to find I would let them fall to the wayside and then blame it on the fact that the idea was bad or that there was not enough money to be made, when in reality I was the reason these things failed. I don't consider myself lazy. I am quite the opposite - too driven. I find myself with insatiable momentum in the beginning stages but soon lose steam. I was indeed born to burn, but my fire too often burns out.
By surrounding yourself with people who are the opposite you might find you actually get s*** done. You first must figure out your role, then go from there.
