Overview: Steal Like An Artist

Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon It was such a greaaatt book. I love it. I read it faster than the other book, cause I feel like to keep reading it. Austin Kleon shared about how to unlock your creativity: Steal like an artist Don't wait until you know who you are to get started Write the book you want to read Use your hands Side projects and hobbies are important The secret: do good work and share it with people Geography is no longer our master Be nice. (The world is a small town) Be boring. (It's the only way to get work done) Creativity is substraction Actually, you can read that 10 points on the back of the book :D The ' Use Your Hands ' really stay in my mind.

Draw manually, take brush and colour it, playing with clay, doodling, sketch, playing the music, etc.. just use your hands. I started to get notes , and wrote down what I have been through...

Playing with Camera (and Colours)

This time, I was playing, with the camera. I was on a trip, and this city is great, so why don't have some shots? Mine is just pocket camera, but can be setted manually. I was having fun with this thing. I walk, I see, I feel, take the camera, then clicks! Learn to set the colours, and put some sense. Here some shots. Loius Vuitton building in Marina Bay Sands. Behind LV building is Singapore's skyline. The real meaning of enlightment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness. Nikos Kazantzakis I took this at Singapore Art Museum.

#PacaranMaTuhan ... Kalau kamu sayang sama Tuhan yang Maha Asyik, mestinya kan menjadikan dirimu sebagai eksekutor kehendak Tuhan di dunia?! Tuhan kan nggak mungkin langsung sedekah ke orang-orang, ya kalianlah sedekah duit kalau punya duit. Sedekah ilmu, sedekah senyum. Masa sih kalau sudah gitu Tuhan gak bales cintamu? Tapi gak mungkin dia belai-belai langsung rambutmu, sentuh bibirmu. Maka Tuhan ciptakan "wakil"-Nya, yaitu pacarmu. Maka doalah, "Tuhan, semoga pacarku ini betul-betul orang yang kau pilihkan untukku." Tapi kadang kamu kebablasan! Lebih sayang ke "wakil" Tuhan itu. Padahal Tuhan Maha Pencemburu! Itulah problemnya. Misalnya, kamu gak pernah sedekah lagi, karena pacarmu di dunia keberatan, akhirnya kamu stop sedekah. Itu yang banyak terjadi. Gak usah panas kuping ketika kubilang Tuhan Maha Pencemburu. Adakah dosa lebih besar dari cinta ke selain Tuhan (harta, uang, dll)? Masih banyak yang salah tafsir. Gini, aku punya saha...

I am no longer fight for it, a...

The Happiness Project

THE HAPPINESS PROJECT MANIFESTO To be happy, you need to consider feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy; one of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself . The days are long, but the years are short. You are not happy unless you think you are happy. Your body matters. Happiness is other people. Think about yourself so you can forget yourself. "It is easy to be heavy, hard to be light." - G.K.
