from Make your Stuff by Austin Kleon: “it’s not enough to be good. In order to be found, you have to be findable.” “If you want people to know about what you do and the things you care about, you have to share.” “Make stuff you love and talk about stuff you love and you’ll attract people who love that kind of stuff. It’s that simple.” “Teaching people doesn’t subtract value from what you do, it actually adds to it. When you teach someone how to do your work, you are, in effect, generating more interest in your work. People feel closer to your work because you’re letting them in on what you know.” “Colin Marshall says: “Compulsive avoidance of embarrassment is a form of suicide.” If you spend your life avoiding vulnerability, you and your work will never truly connect with other people.” “Human beings want to know where things came from, how they were made, and who made them. The stories you tell about the work you do have a huge effect on how people feel and what they understand about your work, and how people feel an what they understand about your work effects how they value it.”
