Sam Hyde's important advice to creative people

Weariness.
Nothing is so insufferable to man as to be completely at rest, without passions, without business, without diversion, without study. He then feels his nothingness, his forlornness, his insufficiency, his dependence, his weakness, his emptiness. There will immediately arise from the depth of his heart weariness, gloom, sadness, fretfulness, vexation, despair.

dead ass some of the most encouraging & straight forward advice i’ve heard regarding creating art.

[@thatonescrambler]

Sam Hyde was the dad we never ask for, but blessed somehow to get

[@Knee_Boy64]

If Sam could be this sincere for longer than 10 minutes he'd be an incredible professor.

[@humanharddrive1]

this was 30 minutes though

[@TJ-pr3rr]

A professor in the broken education system? He's doing just fine.

[@ELABrust]

I agree. Your standards need to be such that daily creative output is a possibility. Cheers folks

For a moment Sam talks Almost identical as Terrence Fletcher giving that speech to Andrew about how rewarding mediocrity ultimately creates more mediocrity and dilutes an art form,
and his passion for jazz music saying; "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than 'good job'..."

Wtf im in a 3d design program right now and am struggling with perfectionism i've had my whole life. This was exactly what I needed to hear, thanks Sam

I kind of disagree about perfectionism and tunnel vision.
"Obsession is the wellspring of genius and madness".

[@fakeschopenhauers]

perfectionism doesn’t equal obsession dumbass the two can sometimes overlap but it doesn’t entail the other

[@JohnSmith-ox3gy]

And that madness? Wouldn't want to be a silly goober and burn all that you have made with just the smallest spark of madness. How many people do you know that can play with that fire and not get burned? If you want to name some rare exceptions just remember you're not HIM.

[@Big_Tough_Guy]

@@JohnSmith-ox3gy I know of a few. Not me though lol. I went over the line in my prime years and have gibberish to show for it hahaha
Good point.

[@Big_Tough_Guy]

@@JohnSmith-ox3gy I have a couple things to show for it though from when I returned to reality lmao. They would not be anything if I didn't obsess over them for years.

[@Big_Tough_Guy]

@@fakeschopenhauers Don't you have to be kind of obsessed to rebuild something a million times?
Of course "perfection" is not attainable, but reaching your maximum potential is. There IS an end if you try hard enough...
Ok yeah these posts made me sound like a wiener, but whatever...
