"Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you lot should set up a life you don't need to escape from."
― Seth Godin

"The task is what you exercise when you are told what to do. The task is showing upward at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.

Someone tin can always do your chore a little better or faster or cheaper than you lot can.

The job might exist hard, it might crave skill, but it's a job.

Your art is what you practice when no ane can tell yous exactly how to exercise it. Your fine art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

I telephone call the process of doing your art 'the piece of work.' It's possible to take a chore and do the work, too. In fact, that'due south how you become a linchpin.

The job is not the work."

"Art is what we phone call...the thing an creative person does.

It'south not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it fine art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human.

Art is not in the ...eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist."
― Seth Godin

"Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that'southward creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator.

What makes someone an creative person? I don't call back is has annihilation to do with a paintbrush. There are painters who follow the numbers, or pigment 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 creative person, across a doubt. So is Jonathan Ive, who designed the iPod. You tin be an artists who works with oil paints or marble, sure. But at that place are artists who work with numbers, business models, and customer conversations. Fine art is about intent and communication, non substances.

An artists is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artists takes it personally.

That'south why Bob Dylan is an artist, but an anonymous corporate hack who dreams upwardly Pop 40 hits on the other side of the glass is only a marketer. That's why Tony Hsieh, founder of Zappos, is an artists, while a banality room of telemarketers is simply a scam.

Tom Peters, corporate gadfly and author, is an artists, even though his readers are businesspeople. He'southward an artists because he takes a stand, he takes the piece of work personally, and he doesn't intendance if someone disagrees. His art is office of him, and he feels compelled to share it with you because information technology's of import, non considering he expects you to pay him for it.

Art is a personal souvenir that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.

Art is a personal human action of backbone, something one human does that creates change in some other."

"The cadger brain is hungry, scared, angry, and horny.

The lizard encephalon only wants to eat and exist safe.

The lizard encephalon volition fight (to the expiry) if information technology has to, but would rather run away. Information technology likes a vendetta and has no problem getting angry.

The cadger encephalon cares what everyone else thinks, considering status in the tribe is essential to its survival.

A squirrel runs around looking for nuts, hiding from foxes, listening for predators, and watching for other squirrels. The squirrel does this because that's all it tin exercise. All the squirrel has is a lizard brain.

The only correct answer to 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' is 'Considering information technology's lizard encephalon told information technology to.' Wild animals are wild because the only encephalon they posses is a lizard brain.

The lizard brain is non merely a concept. It'due south real, and it's living on the top of your spine, fighting for your survival. But, of course, survival and success are not the same thing.

The cadger brain is the reason you're agape, the reason you don't do all the fine art you can, the reason you don't ship when you tin can. The lizard encephalon is the source of the resistance."
― Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are Y'all Indispensable?

"Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that fine art (writing, engaging, leading, all of information technology) is valuable is precisely why I tin't tell you lot how to do it. If in that location were a map, at that place'd be no fine art, because art is the human activity of navigating without a map. Don't y'all detest that? I love that in that location's no map."
― Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
