The best recent reading - GapingVoid

It's amazing-amazing-amazing!!!

I found a guide by Hugh "HOW TO BE CREATIVE", on GapingVoid.com

(courtesy to Tom through whose blog I got the link to it; and see a badge on the side of my blog)

Despite the name "How to be creative", this piece of thoughts is much broader - about life so much!.. A bit of an extract for a taste:

The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to change the world.

If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.

Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.

Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.

If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.

Never compare your inside with somebody else's outside.

Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.

The best way to get approval is not to need it.

Power is never given. Power is taken.



All those points have a picture and some lines about it, some phrases that caught me - below

The only people who can change the world are people who want to. And not everybody does.

To me, it's about what YOU are going to do with the short time you have left on this earth

It was the fact that somehow while playing around with something new, suddenly they found themselves able to put their entire selves into it.

Put your whole self into it, and you will find your true voice. Hold back and you won't. It's that simple

You can't love a crowd the same way you can love a person. And a crowd can't love you the way a single person can love you.

Suddenly it's no longer about "becoming". Suddenly it's about "doing".


"How to be creative" resembles some very much useful answers on the purpose, mission and what to do with that :)

Some of points are those that you told to yourself, but it's good to read them in a well-put manner; some - that you could argue with; other thoughts are like discovery - "Evrika, that's true!!!" And the whole writing/guide for me is one of best collections of thoughts I've ever read, I feel similar about so many things!..

Good to keep "HTC" on a work table to get back to once in a while :) One of those cases when a guy helps much more people than he thinks... Thanks Hugh!
