Their principles

Elizabeth Cady Stanton — “Women should vote”

Larry Tesler — “No person should be trapped in a mode”

Doug Engelbart — “Enable mankind to solve solve the world’s urgent problems” (a vision of “knowledge workers” using complex powerful information tools to harness our collective intelligence)

Alan Kay — “Amplify human reach and bring new ways of thinking into a faltering civilisation that desperately need it”

Richard Stalman — “Software should be free, as in freedom”

Your principle

The world will to make you define yourself by a skill (…) if you want to spend your life pursuing excellence and practicing a skill (…) that is the path of the “craftsman” . That is the most common path.

The only other path you’ll hear about much is the path of the “problem solver” . So I see entrepreneurship and academic research as kind of two sides of that coin: there’s a field, there’s a set of problems in that field (or needs in the market), you go in, you choose one, you work it, you make your contribution there.

Experience

It can take time to find to find a principle because finding a principle is essentially a form of self discovery (…) where you want to stand for as a person.

What I had to do was (…) use all these experiences as ways of analysing myself. (…) and saying: “does this resonate with me?”, “does this repel me?”, “do I not care?” (…) and trying to figure out why, what is this secret ingredient to all these experiences that I’m reacting to so strongly.

Insight

If you choose to follow a principle ,a principle can’t be (…) too vague to be directly actionable.

(…) his principle was this specific nugget of insight (…) and that is a powerful principle because it gave him a new way of seeing in the world, it divides the world in right and wrong in a fairly objective way.

Creators need an immediate connection with what they’re making

Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 19 years. Rotterdam’s heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek (…)

They call their series Exactitudes : a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people’s attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity.

I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”

The doctors told the amputee he might experience a phantom limb from time to time. Nobody prepared him for the moments though, when he felt cold fingers brush across his phantom hand.

If you wanna be something, start being it. (…) Not tomorrow, but today!

Get your work in front of other people (…) you really respect.

When you get a criticism, you don’t have to take all of it, or none of it. You get to piece it a apart and take the part which you think are valuable and throw away the ones you think aren’t really worth it.

There a different between the craft of the creative work that you do and the craft of making money off of that creative work.

(…) the craft of art and the craft of selling art.
