Steal Like an Artist

Number 9 and 10 from:

Austin Kleon's 10 Things Every Creator Should Remember But We Often Forget

# 9:

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use — do the work you want to see done.

# 10: 

There’s an economic theory out there that if you take the incomes of your five closest friends and average them, the resulting number will be pretty close to your own income.  I think the same thing is true of idea incomes. You’re only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with.

These are the kind of reminders I need in a frame.

Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift

I just cant stop myself, TED TV is my link to all that is just and pure and evolutionary and I simply must share the wealth and the good vibrations of hope I feel after watching many of these inspired speakers. So here is another yet never the last......

"Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance"
