I say this to my kids all the time. Do it for the plot. Do it for the story. Tell yourself if it all goes wrong it will just be a funny story. Ironically job interviews, dates, and public speaking go better anyway if you're just happy to be there and not overthinking it!!

You'll get better faster by just doodling for 20 minutes each day than you will by bookmarking any more tutorials.

Get off here and go be bad at drawing for a little.

I've been thinking about the booing at college commencements & wondered: what advice would I give a 22yo for the age of AI?

thinking back to my own graduation into the pandemic, I think the #1 thing is having the right disposition toward change

Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

For 3D students: Most I’ve met simply aren’t doing the hours needed to get into the industry. Studying only 10:00-16:00 every day won’t cut it - particularly since only a portion of the day is spent on actual work.

[Jalex @JalexRosa]

Idk a SINGLE artist that is actually good that didn't spend at least 7 hours per day for more than 2 years on the craft. I think this goes for most human skills overall. for these exceptional people, studying and learning doesn't feel like work at all.

[Illimitable Man (IM) @SovereignIM]

The amount of respect you command is a direct byproduct of how high functioning you are, for high stress tolerance commands respect where low stress tolerance undermines it.

In simple terms: if you can outwardly handle stress with greater composure than others, you will naturally command more respect than they do. Respect thus accrues not as a conscious decision, but as an instinctive response to your conduct.

People will subconsciously evaluate your competence, placing you into one of two categories: asset or liability. If you are consistently steady under pressure and difficult to unsettle, you are deemed an operational asset, but if you collapse emotionally, offend easily, or routinely punish others for telling hard or sensitive truths, you will flag as a liability.

Respect and authority flows to those who are deemed assets. Would you want a leader with poor stress tolerance who is prone to outbursts, collapse or destabilisation? Of course not. That would unsettle you. You would prefer someone who remains poised under pressure, because you would feel safer with someone with an exceptional capacity to metabolise stress even beyond what is objectively healthy or humane. Leadership as such gravitates to those who are able to bear more than their fair share of stress, not to those who impose their emotional turbulence on to others the very moment they are subjected to it.

You seek someone unnaturally strong, who is capable of carrying not just their own burdens, but likewise yours. But you are neither unique or alone in holding that preference, for it is the underlying mechanism which determines how people intuitively designate leaders. To desire authority over others whilst being a source of emotional turbulence is thus not just naive, but incredibly immature. Authority necessarily then gravitates to those who serve the most stabilising function, because when it is given to the incapable, it results in dysfunction and tyranny.

High functioning individuals inspire trust, because they manage destabilising, urgent, or sensitive information without unravelling. Low functioning individuals erode trust, because they amplify chaos, crumble under pressure, and turn urgent or sensitive matters into liabilities, thereby imposing burdens which others are forced to carry in their place.

This is why if you want a relationship built on full and clear mutual transparency, you must be able to bear the costs of what you ask for. Both sides must be capable of absorbing shocks, disappointments, conflicts, and unpleasant truths without collapsing into hysteria or destructive anarchy. Respect simply is not owed, but earned. You are not entitled to what you have not proven you can endure, for it is the weight you are unable to carry that will define the limits of what others can trust you with.

[BONESAW 🕊️ @BonesawMD]

Overwhelmingly true.

2 things to say:

1. Some of you will naturally have the ability to handle high stress situations, and won't realise this until you find yourself in them w/ the competence to match it.

A lot of you work jobs that are too easy for you.

- You perform worse at "easy" jobs & it decreases your overall confidence and self esteem.

- You wonder why you're not doing well at something that doesn't seem traditionally difficult.

- You assume because you struggle w/ something simple, you'd be incapable of doing anything 'harder' – and incorrectly accept this to be your functioning level.

It is not.

Environment is everything for you.
You expand or shrink more readily than others.

Counterintuitively: your life, wealth, confidence, and wellbeing drastically improve once you commit to doing something more challenging.

Others are built to survive in the mundane. But this is not acceptable for you. Entire body rejects it.

Your vision is blurry until you fix your gaze upwards.

2. I said I'm going to make the effort to directly recommend accounts w/ good non-slop content for you to follow as opposed to just reposting or QTing them.

SovereignIM is one of them. Recommended follow.
