Wanna to be more creative ?
Following are some advices:
1. Ignore everybody, it is because that every great idea is always initially resisted.
2. The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to change the world.
3. Put hours in: Do it for long enough and magically, life-transforming things happen eventually.
4. Nobody discovers things in a sudden, things are made slowly and in pain.
5. You are responsible for your own experience.
6. Everyone is born creative, everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
7. Keep your day job.
8. Companies that squelch creativity can not compete with companies that champion creativity.
9. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
10. The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.
11. Don't try to stand out from the crowd, try to avoid crowd altogether.
12. If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
13. Never compare your inside with someone else's outside.
14. Dying young is overrated.
15. The most important thing a creative person can learn, professionaly, is where to draw the red line that separate what you are willing to do and what you are not.
16. The world is changing.
17. Merit can be bought, passion cannot.
18. Avoid the watercooler gang.
19. Sing in your own voice.
20. The choice of media is irrelevant.
21. Selling out is harder than it looks.
22. Nobody cares, do it for yourself.
