just try it!(cheat codes on how to differentiate)
“you can fit in or
standout but
you can’t do
both.”
-seth godin
“all the creativity books in the
world aren’t going to help
you if you aren’t willing to
have lousy, lame,
and dangerously
bad ideas.”
-seth Godin
creativity is taking two things
that don’t belong together
and putting them together.
like a cactus balloon!
anyone can learn to differentiate,
just like practicing a sport, or
playing a video game!!
stop looking for a formula
start creating something!
this is a song
about a painting
in a video on a
website
if you don’t feel dumb every day
you probably aren’t
doing much.
“the biggest thing about
collaborating is completely
removing your ego.”
-kendrick lamar
create history
if
you never beat a video
game on the
first try
the future belongs to
the creative class
everyone is born creative.
everyone is given a box of
crayons in kindergarden.
just try
it!
