Read. Think. Do.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.’

—-Christopher Morley

Create Great Stuff

Leaving the system behind and creating something of your own may actually be thing that gets you into the system, hopefully on your own terms.The point is, forget the gatekeepers. As far as I’m concerned, what you create in a 30-seat, hole-in-the-wall improv theater in Phoenix can be far more meaningful than a mediocre sitcom being half-watched by seven million people. America doesn’t need more stuff. We need more great stuff. You could make that.

Stop Calling Good work “Content”

This. This. 100% This:

From Phil Cooke.

YES!!! I hate how technology has made creative work “Technical”
