“Every collaboration helps you grow”
Brian Eno
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn’t work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.
Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
