How To Be Creative By Hugh McLeod

Just finished "How to be creative by Hugh Mcleod". Sharing some important lines:

1. Ignore Everybody.
2. The creative person basically has two kinds of jobs. One is the sexy, creative kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills.
3. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
4. A fancy tool just gives the second-rater one more pillar to hide behind.
5. If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
6. Never compare your inside with somebody else’s outside.
7. “The first rule of business,” he said, chuckling at my naiveté, “is never sell something you love. Otherwise, you may as well be selling your children.”
8. The most important thing a creative person can learn, professionally, is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.
9.  When I see somebody “suffering for their art,”“it’s usually a case of them not knowing where that red line is, not knowing where the sovereignty lies. 
10. Selling out is harder than it looks. 
11. Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.
