It's hard to imagine two emotions more different from one another.
And yet one can easily replace the other. A sense of wonder and grinding anger can't co-exist.
Great innovations, powerful interactions and real art are often produced by someone in a state of wonder. Looking around with stars in your eyes and amazement at the tools that are available to you can inspire generosity and creativity and connection.
Anger, on the other hand, merely makes us smaller.
and:
Art is what we call...
the thing an artist does.
It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human.
Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.
It's hard not to like a guy like Seth Godin. I love these blogs!
