When you are producing ideas, you are replenishing neurotransmitters linked to genes that are being turned on and off in response to what your brain is doing, which in turn is responding to challenges. When you go through the motions of trying to come up with new ideas, you are energizing your brain by increasing the number of contacts between neurons. The more times you try to get ideas, the more active your brain becomes and the more creative you become. If you want to become an artist and all you did was paint a picture every day, you will become an artist. You may not become another Vincent Van Gogh, but you will become more of an artist than someone who has never tried.

You should start projects because you feel like you are going to either explode, or vomit, or both. You’ve gotta have that kind of burning desire in your stomach to do it.

Mapping Missed Connections via The Atlantic. Excerpt below:
What’s the loneliest place in New York City?
I would say it’s Union Square. It’s a major train interchange, and most Missed Connections happen on the subway. Also, it’s a large public space, and second to subways, Missed Connections tend to happen on street. Whole Foods, also, is a really lonely place.

The best things on this planet are always the result of somebody’s personal passion, somebody following their own muse. So doing that is what I advocate. I’m ok if I do what I do and you don’t find it to your taste, or if you do what you do and I don’t find it to my taste. The only thing I object to, what I believe is close to wrong, like a waste of your life and other people’s lives, is knowingly dumbing it down. Knowingly doing things that you yourself don’t respect.
I focus on doing what I think is a great job. The only thing I advocate to everybody, no matter what business they’re in, is to do what you think is a great job. If everybody did that, we would have no financial crisis because people knew they weren’t doing a great job, instead they knew they were taking advantage. We all know the difference. We’re human beings and we have this moral fiber ingrained in us that’s really strong. We have to overcome it to do all this shit. Don’t overcome your own moral fiber; follow it. Do the stuff you truly believe in.
