Brian Eno on Surrender

Inspiration by Brian Eno (Dunhill Interview, 2013)

“Enthusiasm, as in ‘I really, really want to know how this turns out.’ will carry you through many long nights.”

“However, thinking ‘I ought to do that’ dries up quickly and won’t get you far.”

It’s not so much creating something, I think, it’s noticing when something is starting to happen. And noticing it and then building on it and saying “That’s new”, “That hasn’t happened before”, “What does it mean?”, “Where can I go with it?”

The master has spoken.

This week I’ve learned that…

• A blender is a god-sent device to make magical mixes out of about anything
• In order to get a startup off the ground you need to be committed and can’t just do it “on the side”
• I can’t control what other people do. Hence I won’t give too much thought into trying that anymore.
• When I need to sleep, I have to make time for it.
• Sleep refreshes the senses and clears out a lot of sub-conscious garbage.
• Sleep takes time.
• You can create a sort of virgin margarita/super lemonade at home with Lime juice, Raw honey and crushed Ice cubes
• Some say Glycerine is the secret sauce to creating big bubbles when it’s actually J-Lube
• Mate tea tastes great in the morning and will wake you up just like coffee
• You can get fit without a gym by just doing body-weight exercises
• It’s a a good idea to put all your supplements and allergy-medication into a small box instead of having the bottles float around everywhere
• Regular soap when used to wash wooden floors will dull the surface and it will look less clean than before
• It’s a good idea to start the week listening or watching inspirational videos from successful people
• Just because the USPS says it has delivered a package doesn’t necessarily mean it actually happened.
• Pre-made lunch-time Sushi from Japanese people is significantly tastier than from a random deli and doesn’t even have to be more expensive
