Our take on Picasso's quote: Remember one time that you didn't want to do something, you felt discouraged about it, but because you were obligated to it, you had to do it somehow someway? And while you were actually doing it you realized that it wasn't so bad as you made out to be, and you're really enjoying it now? That's right!

Work at it, and things will get better. Inspiration will come with work. This inverts the cycle, a common place to all of us: "you need to be inspired to work", maybe not! Maybe what you really need is a work that inspires you!

4. "I do not seek. I find." - Pablo Picasso

Our take on Picasso's quote: Genius produced their best works in this mode, they don't go out and plan it, they just start doing what they supposed to do.

They live in the process, their mind is always thinking about it, and working about it.

Countless hours of doing what you love, will get you to thoughts and ideas that would never occur and you cannot seek for it, because even you didn't knew that they existed.

In the process of doing you'll find something that's unique and that couldn't have been planned initially. Genius would never find it seeking it to exhaustion.

Our take on Picasso's quote: You got to have a plan, but you cannot be too strict about it. You have to be able to adjust. Start with an idea then move on to something more detailed cause...

7. "An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought." - Pablo Picasso

Our take on Picasso's quote: Dreams are simple ideas, that make their transformation into to reality once you get to know how built the road to achieving it (elaboration) and then taking action.

Stepping Stone to Success: Apply Your Dream To Reality and Make The Necessary Adjustments.

8. "You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea." - Pablo Picasso

Our take on Picasso's quote: It should be vague, but we make it much more complex right?

We go thing by thing, and bad question after bad question, we tend to get overwhelmed by it. Because we make things bigger and more complex than what they really are.

That's why you should have a vague idea, and then add pieces to the puzzle latter. We want to imagine the puzzle all together, look at each piece, and than we go..."humm this will take a while...maybe latter". And in the meantime you get discouraged and don't actually do nothing. 

Stepping Stone to Success: Take the Simple Approach to Life, don't make Complex in your Mind.


9. "There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality." - Pablo Picasso

Our take on Picasso's quote: Most of the time I hear students mumbling about how they don't like that teacher, that class. I hear workers stressing about their boss and tasks they don't like to do.  

Don't worry, nothing is permanent and impossible! But if you want to get to some place faraway, each journey begins with a simple step. 

If you're a student remember the reality today is that you have to go to class and manage to get a grade from that teacher, tomorrow you can be the teacher and make your own classes, but you have to go through this first! - they are the stepping stones.

If you work don't forget that today you have to do minor tasks that, one day, will get you to do major stuff. But you cannot skip the minor ones of today! They are the stepping stones.

Stepping Stone to Success: Don't worry, Doing is Good and Real, you can Change it Latter to your one conception of reality.
