_why the lucky stiff once tweeted:
when you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.
Forget the bit about excluding people. The important point here is: create. Creating something with your own hands and deriving joy out of it transcends almost all other pleasures known to man. At the same time, its sometimes difficult to be a creative person… to be disturbed, and questioned and ridiculed and shunned. To be unlike many others.
This is a small note in defence of creators and entrepreneurs.
