How Curiosity Leads to Creativity -- Science of Us - 0 views

  • We live in a culture that very much fetishizes passion and certainty. I think sometimes people lose their way in the creative path because they’re being told to follow their passion. It can be a really cruel piece of advice
  • Forget about the notion of passion, and give your attention to your curiosity. Passion burns hot and fast, which means it can come and go

  • But part of that path, of leading a creative life, is to believe that there’s a reason that you’re into this thing, whatever it is.
  • Every time I hear someone talk about discipline all I see is the scratch marks on the walls they left with their fingernails. All that anxiety. You’ve got to take it easy on yourself. You’re doing an inherently weird thing. You’re investing time and money into making something that nobody asked you to do. It’s inherently a wacky thing to do. You’re going to have strange feelings, especially about the uselessness of it all. But then you think, I’m going to stay with it, because it’s more interesting than anything else.
