#Things to consider

  • In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities. In the expert’s mind, there are few.
  • Never stop learning.
  • Always push yourself to become a student again.
  • Amateurs are not afraid to make mistakes or look ridiculous in public. They’re in love, so they don’t hesitate to do work that others think of as silly or just plain stupid.
  • The world is changing at such a rapid rate that it’s turning us all into amateurs. Even for professionals, the best way to flourish is to retain an amateur’s spirit and embrace uncertainty and the unknown.
  • The best way to get started on the path to sharing your work is to think about what you want to learn, and make a commitment to learning it in front of others.
  • Be on the lookout for voids that you can fill with your own efforts, no matter how bad they are at first.
  • When you feel that you’ve hit a wall, begin again and take another angle on it.
