You are
what you think
you are.
Andy
Warhol
“How can you call this art?” they say.
“You can’t paint as well as what’s his name…
and your model isn’t as pretty to begin with.”
Andy Warhol
Leading figure of 1950s Pop Art
The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is US$105 million
for 1963’s Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)
“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Sylvia Plath

Question
everything,
everywhere,
forever.
Charles
Darwin
Everything around you that you call
life, was made up by people that
were no smarter than you.
And you can change it, you can
influence it, you can build your own
things that other people can use.
Steve Jobs
3If you can’t
find a way,
make one.
Claude
Monet
After being repeatedly rejected by France’s official art show, the Salon de Paris, the
Impressionists staged the first of their own exhibitions in 1874. Despite early public
ridicule, their style was eventually adopted by mainstream Salon art by the 1890s.

Create
your
environment.
Pablo
Picasso

Picasso’s. All the bits of wood and frames had
become like his pictures.”
Vanessa Bell after visiting Picasso’s studio in 1914
This is the house
used by Mark
Zuckerberg and the

expensive fitouts
to make your

7Be
AUDACIOUS.
Ruslan
Kogan
Only a big, crazy idea can
shatter the status quo.
The best businesses do
things in a way that no one
has ever done before.
Ruslan Kogan,
Founder of Kogan.com
8
Creat chance
because
chance creates.
Things
discovered
by chance
9Simplify,
then simplify
more.
Steve
Jobs
That’s been one of my mantras —
focus and simplicity.
Simple can be harder than complex.
You have to work hard to get your
thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s
worth it in the end because once you
get there, you can move mountains.
Steve Jobs
10Make it happen.
It’s not
about ideas.
It’s about
making ideas
happen.
Scott Belsky,
Co-founder of Behance
Thinking big is
an absolute waste
of time if you’re not
going to execute on
your ideas.
Ruslan Kogan,
Founder of Kogan.com
