Denigrating art you don't understand doesn't hurt the art - it reveals something about your willingness to learn.

Competence is no longer scarce.

In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.

Denigrating art you don't understand doesn't hurt the art - it reveals something about your willingness to learn.

Being a leader gives you charisma. If you look and study the leaders who have succeeded, that's where charisma comes from, from the leading.

The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.

I wonder if real art comes when you build the thing that they don't have a prize for yet.
