Life is a game, farm to win. Repeated practice is required for growth. Mass produce short content to increase likelihood of going viral. Business is like working out, you need to repeat things over and over meticulously to succeed. You won't hold long term if you don't enjoy it but you won't see result if you don't practice daily when you don't feel like it either. Balance weight lifting and cardiac activities while keeping in mind that muscles increase the amount of calories you burn at rest, hence they are beneficial for weight loss. Adapt your habits to your goals even if they seem crazy to others: do you want pastries and alcohol or a sharp body and mind? Prefer protein over sugar. Why paying to watch people do things that you could do yourself? Be inspired, not entertained. The time you give to others is time you don't have for yourself. Live a life worth making a film about instead of spending your life watching films about others people lives. You get views if you collaborate, make child-friendly videos, and design a proper thumbnail-title dramatic combo; but that doesn't guarantee money. Hook people in 1 second, then add details. People are looking for authentic people as much as generic brands. Produce both high effort and low effort content. Content creators practice the same job but aren't necessarily friends. All work deserves pay. You have the right to refuse taking pictures with fans in the street, tell them why and they'll be more likely to understand. Successful people are normal people that dared and tried more than others. Fame brings people that don't agree with you and don't like what you do; that's ok, it shouldn't stop you for doing what you enjoy and saying what you have to say. Speak for yourself or people people will speak on your behalf. There is a time for everything, be serious when you talk business and extravagant when you record entertainment. The best way to stop an addiction is to leverage your ego. Things will be alright, don't worry and act.
Thibaud DelapartWhat is simple is forgettable. Knowing only one technique/genre doesn't fulfill you and doesn't make you a master. Don't make the thing you learned first the only thing you know. An artist doesn't need a signature if his work is unique. You can be great but blend, the message matters as much as the style. What isn't new and surprising doesn't matter. What justify your publication? If you are a visionary, your work will still be relevant in several decades. The bigger the void you fill, the more successful you'll be. Young people get screwed until they look at what's been done before them. Real information isn't referenced online, it must be searched in real life and isn't profitable. Depending on social media means not having freedom of speech. If 0.5% of the world thinks like you, you have a market. If 50% of the worlds thinks like you, you are blend. Art can be used to convey all emotions; from laughter to love, from despair to seriousness. Shocking people isn't a reason to stop. Art doesn't live on its own, you must defend and explain it if needed. If people laugh at everything except what's close to them, they don't have humor. Laugh at yourself then at the world. The only limit is the law. It's ok to be popular, it's not ok to be populist. Never underestimate your audience and always try to carry it to unexpected place. If you don't create by fear of critics, they won. Anger is a sign of revolt and injustice, use it instead of being a hypocrite who hides it. Have the audacity to criticize everything. Give people your alternative view of the world. Rise above your environment or you will become its product. If you don't reach out to the youth, who will do it? Enjoy your freedom, what will you do with it?
