Cover of Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

“People who tell you that “I could paint a painting like that” are missing the point.  The craft of the painting, the craft of writing that e-mail, the craft of building that PowerPoint presentation- those are the easy parts.  It’s the art and the insight and the bravery of value creation that are rewarded.”

Seth Godin in Linchpin.

    I enjoyed reading Seth Godin’s book. Have you fully read it? I particularly like how he defines artists and how everyone should be an artist.
    I’d like to believe that I am an artist. I also like the quote 😉

      Julius,
      I am still reading it. So much of Seth’s writing breaks with conventional wisdom, I just thought I would share a few that catch my attention along the way. Everyone must become an artist but only after they discover what art really is.
