Posted: 10/10/2009 1:59:26 PM | “Perfectionism is rampant today…
and it is in this competitive drive to accomplish a moral and intellectual superiority that making a mistake becomes so dangerous…
People who try to desperately to avoid mistakes are endangering themselves.
The reason for this is two-fold.
First when you think about the mistake which you might make, you do yourself the greatest of harm by discouraging yourself.
We know that discouragement is the best motivator for doing something wrong.
In order to do something right, one has to have confidence—self-confidence.
When you think about the mistake you might make, you express your lack of faith--in yourself…
and consequently, out of this discouragement we are more prone to make a mistake.
There is no sense in crying over spilled milk, but most people who make mistakes feel guilty.
They feel degraded, they lose respect for themselves; they lose belief in their own ability.
And I have seen it time and again—
the real damage was not done through the mistakes they made but through the guilty feeling and discouragement which they had afterwards.”
~ Alfred Adler | |

Posted: 10/13/2009 5:50:12 PM | selfishness in art, as in other things, is sensibility kept at home....
the love of gain never made a painter , but it has married many....
the most intangible, and therefore the worst, kind o lie is a half truth....
if an artist love his art for its own sake, he will delight in excellence
wherever he meets it, as well in the work of another as in his own.
this is the test of a true love.....
Washington Allston (painter and writer) "lectures on art" | |

Posted: 10/16/2009 10:55:48 PM | "Any answer is only a point of view. A point of view itself is limiting.
To "understand" something is to give up some other way of conceiving it.
This is another way of saying that the mind deals in forms of limitation.
Nonetheless, there is a relationship between the content of awareness and the ability of the mind to transcend itself."
~ Gary Zukav, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, An Overview of the New Physics | |
