We don’t call portraits people: But in fact, just about everything is a portrait. It’s our temporary understanding of the world as it is, not an actual experience of it. We see things through our filters, match them to our expectations and live out our… https://t.co/D46SGCvgCp

The rip saw: Supposedly, going against the grain is really difficult. It turns out, though, that it’s far more dangerous to cut with a rip saw, a blade that goes along the grain. It often leads to a botched project. When you’re cutting across the grain,… https://t.co/Rd200LftpY

Danger, real and apparent: It’s absurd to trim trees like this. There are high power lines. There’s a helicopter. There are cables. Do the math. It turns out, apparently, that a swinging chainsaw is far safer than having men and women climbing through… https://t.co/QKLMxqhGTq

Artists and freedom: It’s tempting to claim the role of artist. Once you’re an artist, you’re free. Free to work your own hours, free to make what you want to make, free to express yourself. Except not really. Because it comes with a hook. The hook of,… https://t.co/hul1o5j0Lf

Memories of memories: That’s most of what we’ve got. We don’t actually remember much of what happens. Instead, we get what we’ve rehearsed. If we fail to rehearse, the memory will fade. And if the memory isn’t serving us, we can work to stop rehearsing… https://t.co/HlZvQyyZOE

Being stuck is reasonable: That’s precisely why you’re stuck. Every decision you’ve made, all the status quo you’re holding on to, the fears you have–they’re all reasonable. This is a mature, apparently safe series of choices. Congratulation on being… https://t.co/klzBYStsZj

On becoming an acquired taste: People say that as if there’s something wrong with it. In fact, once you become an acquired taste, then those that have done the hard work to like what you make are likely to talk about it, likely to come back for more,… https://t.co/Tqnc6YHyS4

How to Bring Out the Best in Others: Performance can’t be improved until it’s defined. The truth about bringing out the best in others: You’re supposed to bring out the best in others, but what does that mean? How is it… Continue reading → https://t.co/vgiiTUCPnQ
