Make A Start

Recently I decided to start writing. A close friend suggested me for this and I thought I should give it a try.

When you start out, you have no idea what you are doing, and you should not actually. And this is great. People who know what they are doing, know the rules, limitations, ways, and know what is possible and impossible.
If you don’t know it is impossible, it’s easier to do.

Because nobody’s done it before, they haven’t made up the rules to stop anyone doing that again, yet.

You enter into this world twice. Once when you were born and second, when you get old enough to realize what world actually is. Most of us do not have any idea where this second birth into this world would lead us. Something that worked for me is imagining where I want to be after next 10 years, a distant mountain. I know as long as I kept walking towards the mountain I would be all right.
The road to success is always laid by the marbles of failures. You need to be thick-skinned, to learn that not every effort, not every project will survive. Making efforts is sometimes like putting messages in bottles, on a desert island, and hoping that someone will find one of your bottles, open it and read it.But if you think the problems of failures are hard, the problems of success can be harder. Because nobody warns you about them. The first problem of any kind of (even limited) success is the unshakable conviction that you are getting away with something and that any moment now they will discover you.
You have the ability to make art. It gets you through good times and it gets you through the other ones. When things get tough, do what only you do best. Make your art
The things I’ve done that worked the best were the things I was the least certain about. Where would be the fun in making something you knew was going to work easily from the start?
The rules as we know them are breaking down. The nature of distribution is changing, and nobody knows what the landscape will look like two years from now. So make up your own rules. Be wise.
Often the harder you work, and the more wisely you work, the “luckier” you get.
Go make interesting, amazing, fantastic mistakes. Leave the world more interesting for your being there.
