Does Age Matter?

You have to have inspiration or a picture that pops into your head or you won't be able to get what you wanted.

Inspiration

Picture the painting you will make. Think of techniques and colors you will use.

Picture It

Start with the background. Otherwise, your background may cover the actual picture

First Things First

Start to paint, then, just go with the flow. Do what you think is right, do what you want, just let the painting paint.

Now we have reached the stage where figuring out what to focus on becomes a real possibility.You have experimented with enough ideas to discover one or two options that seem to provide better than average results for you. You’ve overcome the hurdle of wanting more information and the fear of committing to something and now you’ve made a choice. You took the job. You started the business. You signed up for the class. You’re ready.Welcome to the grind. It’s time to put in a volume of work. Not just once or twice. Not just when it’s easy. But a consistent, repeated volume of work.

You’re going to have to try on a lot of clothes before you can simplify down to the essentials. You’ll probably have to buy a lot of clothes before you can really get a feel for what your day-in, day-out style is. I’m not a fan of promoting rampant consumerism, but if that’s the skill set you want to develop then it’s likely going to take some experimentation and effort.

Want to dress well and develop killer style?

How many bad meals do you think you need to make before you can whip up a “simple, but tasty dinner” whenever you feel like it? I’d say hundreds at least. I don’t know many people who are amazing cooks after making their tenth meal ever. Developing a deep understanding of the fundamentals of cooking takes a while.

Want to become a great cook?

The more I study successful people from all walks of life—artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, scientists—the more I believe focus is a core factor of success.But there is a problem with this advice too.Of the many options in front of you, how do you know what to focus on? How do you know where to direct your energy and attention? How do you determine the one thing that you should commit to doing?

The best answer I can give is to pay attention. Usually, this means <a href="https://jamesclear.com/measuring">measuring something </a>. <ul><li>If you’re an entrepreneur, track your marketing and promotion efforts. </li><li>If you’re trying to gain muscle, <a href="https://jamesclear.com/workout-journal">track your workouts </a>. </li><li>If you’re learning an instrument, <a href="https://jamesclear.com/stop-procrastinating-seinfeld-strategy">track your practice sessions </a>. </li> </ul>Even when you do measure things, however, there comes a point where you have to make a call and decide what to focus on.

It is through this sheer number of repetitions that you’ll come to understand the fundamentals of your task. You might know what greatness looks like before this point, but you won’t understand how to achieve greatness until you’ve put the work in yourself. In the <a href="https://jamesclear.com/ira-glass-failure">words of Ira Glass </a>, “your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you’re making is kind of a disappointment to you.” You’ll bridge that gap between what you know is good and what you can produce yourself by <a href="https://jamesclear.com/repetitions">putting in the reps </a>. This applies to so many areas of life.

Now, finally, after trying many things and figuring out what to focus on and putting in enough reps, you can begin to simplify. You can trim away the fat because you know what is essential and what is unnecessary. As the Frenchman Blaise Pascal famously wrote in his Provincial Letters, “If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter.” Mastering the fundamentals is often the hardest and longest journey of all.

The more I study successful people from all walks of life, the more I believe focus is a core factor of success. But how do you know what to focus on?

How Experts Figure What to Focus On

"Doing comedy alone onstage is the ego's last stand."

Darkness is essential: If light is thrown on the audience, they don't laugh; I might as well have told them to still and be quiet.

"The comedian's slang for a successful show is "I murdered them," which I'm sure came about because you finally realize that the audience is capable of murdering you."

"This book is not an autobiography but a biography, because I am writing about someone I used to know. Yes, these events are true, yet sometimes they seemed to have happened to someone else, and I often felt like a curious onlooker or someone trying to remember a death."

"I could not sing or dance, and the only acting I did was really just shouting. Thankfully perseverence is a great substitute for talent."

"Despite a lack of natural ability, I did have the one element necessary to all early creativity: naïveté, that fabulous quality that keeps you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do."

"I have learned there is no harm in charging oneself up with delusions between moments of valid inspirations."

"Any new social philosophy is good for creativity."

"Teaching is, after all, a form of show business."

"I felt that a career in the irrational world of creativity not only made sense but had moral purpose."

"Comedy is a distortion of what is happening, and there will always be something happening."

"It was easy to be great. Every entertainer has a night when everything is clicking. These nights are accidental and statistical: Like lucky cards in poker, you can count on them occurring over time. What was hard was to be good, consistently good, night after night, no matter what the abominable circumstances."

"The few hours I spent in the clubs and coffeehouses seemed like a full existence."

"Celebrities want fame when it's useful and don't when it's not. That argument is absolutely true."

"Movies were social; stand-up was antisocial."

"In psychoanalysis, you try to retain a discovery; in art, once the thing is made, you let it go."

Quotes from one of the greatest multihyphenates of all time, Steve Martin.

Steve Martin has been an international star for over thirty years. Here, for the first time, he looks back to the beginning of his career and charmingly evokes the young man he once was. Born in Texas but raised in California, Steve was seduced early by the comedy shows that played on the radio when the family travelled back and forth to visit relatives. When Disneyland opened just a couple of miles away from home, an enchanted Steve was given his first chance to learn magic and entertain an audience. He describes how he noted the reaction to each joke in a ledger - 'big laugh' or 'quiet' - and assiduously studied the acts of colleagues, stealing jokes when needed. With superb detail, Steve recreates the world of small, dark clubs and the fear and exhilaration of standing in the spotlight. While a philosophy student at UCLA, he worked hard at local clubs honing his comedy and slowly attracting a following until he was picked up to write for TV. From here on, Steve Martin became an acclaimed comedian, packing out venues nationwide. One night, however, he noticed empty seats and realised he had 'reached the top of the rollercoaster'. BORN STANDING UP is a funny and riveting chronicle of how Steve Martin became the comedy genius we now know and is also a fascinating portrait of an era.

What does consistency do?

This piece of work is the journey of the author himself, telling and guiding the readers while sharing his own experiences. He describes selling, negotiating, generating ideas, public speaking and personal branding while stating that how our education system is not taking care of the important things.

School taught us specific subjects, like maths and history. But we weren't taught: How to sell Or how to build relationships Or how to negotiate Or how to take care of our mental health Or how to network Or how to deal with personal finance These most important situations we face as adults were never discussed with us when we were students. We weren't taught these skills in school, and this makes all the success stories we hear about seem out of reach; it makes us feel dumb. We aren't dumb, we just don't know how to work the system. Your school taught you how to run in the race; it didn't teach you how to win. And that's what this book is for. To help you win the race. Packed with useful advice gleaned from his own journey as an entrepreneur and content creator, this book by Raj Shamani is a must-read.

Build, Don't Talk

"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."﻿

<ul><li>Get off your bed and grab that sketchbook you bought last month that was ignored.</li><li>Draw anything you like, from cute doodles to unique creations that might raise a few eyebrows.</li><li>Whether you're on the rooftop or awake at 3 a.m. battling insomnia, a simple sketch is good for your progress.</li><li>Consistency is the key to developing any skill.</li></ul>

TIP #1: DRAW EVERYDAY

"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet."

<ul><li>Artistic growth doesn't happen overnight. Unless you kidnap a time traveler.</li><li>Improvement in art isn't a straight line. It's more like swimming through muddy puddles full of sharks.</li><li>Trust that your path will unfold in its own time. As the saying goes, there's no comparison between the sun and the moon. They explode when it's their time.</li><li>Patience will help you stay motivated and persistent.</li></ul>

TIP #2: BE PATIENT

The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.

<ul><li>Understanding anatomy, perspective, shading, color theory, and others is important. Yes, before it was the school that tortured you in learning, and now it's yourself. </li><li>The reason learning the basics is called a foundation is because when you get attacked by art block or procrastination, you still know your standpoint. Although, you'll cry over it first when you notice your art has changed.</li><li>Learning art principles forms the foundation of all great art, and mastering them will enhance your skills.</li></ul>

TIP #3: STUDY  FUNDAMENTALS

"Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is a result of good work habits."

<ul><li>Again, don't forget about your sketchbook like what you did with your socks. Those papers didn't go through the manufacturing process just to be forgotten.</li><li>Your sketchbook is a safe space for experimentation and practice. Unless someone takes a peek at it.</li><li>Filling it up with drawings, notes, and ideas will not only improve your skills but also serve as a remembrance of when you started. Be proud of yourself for seeing your progress.</li></ul>

TIP #4: FILL UP YOUR SKETCHBOOK

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."

<ul><li>Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. If you didn't make any mistakes, then you're doing it all wrong.</li><li>Don't avoid them; instead, embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow. They are not signs that you failed; they are signs that you tried and kept going.</li><li>Remember, every great artist has made countless mistakes along their journey because they used them as stepping stones for success.</li></ul>

TIP #5: DON'T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."

<ul><li>Recognize and celebrate your small victories along the way. Finished that artwork you almost procrastinated on? Well, you deserve a cookie for that!</li><li>Acknowledge the progress you've made, even if it's small. Joined an art contest but didn't win? Still celebrate it because you're already a winner the moment you take a risk. Unlike the past when you were too shy to show your talent or always denied that your ability was not that good. </li><li> These small wins will help boost your confidence. Because at the end of the day, the person who will be delighted by your growth is the self that almost gave up.</li></ul>

TIP# 6: CELEBRATE SMALL THINGS

This offers aggressive and straightforward encouragement, to force even the most lazy artists to pick up their sketchbooks and start drawing on their path to artistic growth and self-improvement. Inspired by a fellow artist called Kae.

A successful business and job search tip from Seth Godin's "Purple Cow."In today's world, traditional marketing and job seeking methods are no longer effective. Instead, make yourself stand out, just like a purple cow. Here's how:<ul><li>Send a video CV</li><li>Use graphics or bold colors in your application</li><li>Get creative with your cover letter - write it as a short story</li></ul>Think about what will catch someone's attention and make them look twice. Be unique and memorable - the key to success.

Be A Purple Cow

We often hear that it's not what you know, but who you know when it comes to job hunting. However, did you know that people we barely know are more helpful in finding jobs than those we're close to? This is because our strong ties are too similar to us, while weak ties expose us to new ideas, information, and opportunities. In fact, a study found that weak ties are responsible for most job positions. So don't underestimate the power of weak connections in your job search!

The Power of Weak Connections for Job Hunting

In our DNA, humans have been storytelling for centuries. Stories stick with us and impact our brains in a way that facts and data can't. Incorporate storytelling into your job hunting strategy to boost your chances of getting hired.Sharing personal stories in your resume and interview allows you to connect with the recruiter on a deeper level. Our brains are wired to respond to emotions, making storytelling a powerful way to stand out and leave a lasting impression. Don't underestimate the power of storytelling in your job search.

The competition for great jobs is fiercer than ever. Research shows that, on average, 250 candidates apply for each job, but only five or six get an interview. And as technology advances, AI will put more jobs at risk. You need to do all you can to stand out and beat the competition.
