    Right from my childhood I have longed to be an artist. In this post I will inspire you to have guts to be an artist.

    An artist is one who conquers the fear of lizard brain and challenges the status quo by taking his work very seriously.

    I love both great sales people and theater artists since they have a lot in common. These are people who do not fear rejection and exhibit the right amount of tenacity to overcome all obstacles to showcase their work to the world.

    Have Guts be an Artist

    This is one great insight from Seth Godin’s book Linchpin.

    “An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally.”

    And finally I will leave you with this insightful post:

    As a salesperson I always look forward to witnessing live performance of my favorite artists. There are quite a few commonalities between a salesperson and an artist which is really fascinating.

    To me the most apt definition of an artist is as follows:

    “An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally.”

    This is why live performance by my favorite artists always keeps me on the edge.

    Have you wondered why MOST ARTISTS are UNREASONABLE?

    What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

    If I were guaranteed NOT to FAIL, I would create a BLUEPRINT of the MODERN SCHOOLING system.

    Schools have been designed to create compliant factory workers right from the start of industrial age.

    In the blueprint of the new age schooling system I would ensure that I do the following:

    1. Encourage students to ask the RIGHT QUESTIONS
    2. Encourage role plays that prepare students as future LEADERS
    3. Support students in solving CREATIVE and DIFFICULT problems even if they were to FAIL.

    Once these three criteria are met, i am sure our schools will be able to produce students who are well prepared in the modern conceptual age.
