Our cultural instinct is to wait to get pickedNo one is going to pick you. Pick yourself.

Great innovations, powerful interactions and real art are often produced by someone in a state of wonder. Looking around with stars in your eyes and amazement at the tools that are available to you can inspire generosity and creativity and connection

Our job is obvious: we need to get out of the way, shine a light, and empower a new generation to teach itself and to go further and faster than any generation ever has.

Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.

Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that is creative, passionate and personal. Art is the unique work of a human being created to touch another. Art is created to have an impact, to change someone else.

Be with the ones you love (and the ones that love you.) Ignore everyone else.

The public square is more public than ever, but minds are rarely changed in 140 character bursts and by selfies.
