10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative You don’t need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself. That’s the message from Austin Kleon, a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere, creativity is for everyone. „Your brain gets too comfortable in your everyday surroundings. You need to make it uncomfortable. You need to spend some time in another land, among people that do things differently than you. Travel makes the world look new, and when the world looks new, our brains work harder.” „Creative people need time to just sit around and do nothing.” „Your job is to collect good ideas. The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by.” „The artist is a collector. Not a hoarder, mind you, there’s a difference: Hoarders collect indiscriminately, artists collect selectively. They only collect things that they really love.” „Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new film, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. Jim Jarmusch” „Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of one or more previous ideas.” „You don’t want to look like your heroes, you want to see like your heroes.” „Keep all your passions in your life.” „As Salvador Dalí said, “Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.” „So go on, get angry. But keep your mouth shut and go do your work.” „Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else–that’s how you’ll get ahead.” „Eat breakfast. Do some push-ups. Go for long walks. Get plenty of sleep.” „If you ever find that you’re the most talented person in the room, you need to find another room” ---->> flava.pl/being-creative/#prettyPhoto
