What I learned: Show Your Work

Show Your Work by Austin Kleon

When I create the Entrepreneur’s curriculum for my 12-year-old in 12 years, this baby will be at the top of the list.

After reading a book I love I often do more research on the author, follow her on Twitter etc. (I think this is kind of the pointing of writing a book like this). Anyway, I came across this great quote by Kleon on what creativity is:

“Taking what’s in front of you and everybody else and making something new out of it.” (Copyblogger)

Also, Kelon has a really cool recommended reading list — a number of which I just added to my GoodReads queue.
