The myth of the overnight success is just that – a myth.

Seth Godin

Alexander Graham Bell knew this when he famously said, “It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider … who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.”

Thomas Edison knew this when he proclaimed, “Success is the product of the severest kind of mental and physical application.”

Amelia E. Barr knew this when she asserted, “Everything good needs time.”

John Singer Sargent : Watercolors”

Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY

This landmark exhibition unites for the first time the John Singer Sargent watercolors acquired by the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in the early twentieth century. The culmination of a yearlong collaborative study by both museums, John Singer Sargent Watercolors explores the watercolor practice that has traditionally been viewed as a tangential facet of Sargent’s art making. The ninety-three pieces on display provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to view a broad range of the artist’s finest production in the medium.

Yes. Going to this ASAP.

Norwegian researchers find the 7 characteristics of highly creative people. Pair with John Cleese on 5 factors to make your life more creative and Ira Glass on the secret of success in creative work.

Particularly interesting and counter-intuitive is #6 – but then again, we do know that emotional excess is essential to creativity

When I was a kid my dad had a model of this car on a bookshelf in his office. It’s giving me serious nostalgia to see it again. Way fun.
