9. Begin anywhere. John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice:
begin anywhere. -
13. Slow down. Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves.

15. Ask stupid questions. Growth is fueled by desire and innocence. Assess the answer, not the question. Imagine
learning throughout your life at the rate of an infant. -
16. Collaborate. The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife,
exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential. -
17. ____________________. Intentionally left blank. Allow space for the ideas you haven’t had yet, and for the ideas of
others. -
19. Work the metaphor. Every object has the capacity to stand for something other than what is apparent. Work on
what it stands for. -
22. Make your own tools. Hybridize your tools in order to build unique things. Even simple tools that are your
own can yield entirely new avenues of exploration. Remember, tools amplify our capacities, so even a small tool can make
a big difference. -
28. Make new words. Expand the lexicon. The new conditions demand a new way of thinking. The thinking demands
new forms of expression. The expression generates new conditions. -
29. Think with your mind. Forget technology. Creativity is not device-dependent.
-
34. Make mistakes faster.
-
35. Imitate. Don’t be shy about it. Try to get as close as you can. You'll never get all the way, and the
separation might be truly remarkable. -
42. Remember. Growth is only possible as a product of history. Without memory, innovation is merely novelty.
History gives growth a direction. But a memory is never perfect. Every memory is a degraded or composite image of a
previous moment or event. That’s what makes us aware of its quality as a past and not a present. It means that every
memory is new, a partial construct different from its source, and, as such, a potential for growth itself.

Aaron Smith"1. Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.

1. Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.
2. Forget about good. Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to good you'll never have real growth.
3. Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.
4. Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.
5. Go deep. The deeper you go the more likely you will discover something of value.
6. Capture accidents.
