Seth Godin Just Poured Gasoline On My Soul And Lit A Match

I don’t think success is showing up, doing what you’re told and then going home and watching television… I think many people in [advertising] aren’t artists, actually, but people working hard to do a job or please a client. Artists do more than that. They inflame critics and they make change and they do things that makes themselves and others uncomfortable.

I have already pre-ordered Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?, which will be electronically delivered to my Kindle tomorrow.

    Seth Godin can be quite outspoken and I would tend to take many of the things he says or preaches with a grain of salt.
    I think he's just elevating art to an endeavor above the business of advertising. Sure, there are a lot of people just coasting along who are content to just produce status-quo campaigns, please clients and follow briefs to the letter and go home at five. But that doesn't mean you can't challenge this dogmatic paradigm and create more provocative work -that's my inspiration.

    why did the comment WYSIWYG editor just format my response to all lowercase text?
  • darrylj: I agree. Seth's job is to be provocative and get people talking. I was essentially doing the same thing. :-) I don't put my soul into everything. I know when to separate my emotions (or my ego) from a project. But I'm not sure that it makes the project better

    As to the lowercase reformatting: it's annoying as hell and if I could read CSS better, I would have changed it a year ago! If there's anyone out there that can tell me what to look for, I'd be most obliged.
