Μύρισε φθινόπωρο...

Άρχισε το σχολείο και το διάβασμα, αλλά το ηθικό καλά κρατεί!
Έτσι είπα να φτιάξω καμιά τσαντούλα για να βάζουμε βιβλιαράκια και όχι μόνο!
Γιατι αν είναι να έχεις στυλ...

the only rule is work

In the print lab at City College, I spied, half hidden under a clock, a copy of Corita Kent's "Artful Rules for Work and Life," developed for the Art Department of Immaculate Heart College, where she taught for over twenty years.

Her "rules" are worth quoting in full.

Rule 1 Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for a while.

Rule 2 General duties of a student: Pull everything out of your teacher. Pull everything out of your fellow students.

Rule 3 General duties of a teacher: Pull everything out of your students.

Rule 4 Consider everything an experiment.

Rule 5 Be self-disciplined. This means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.

Rule 6 Nothing is a mistake. There's no win and no fail. There's only make.

Rule 7 The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all the time who eventually catch on to things.

Rule 8 Don't try to create and analyse at the same time. They're different processes.

Rule 9 Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It's lighter than you think.

Rule 10 "We're breaking all of the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for x quantities." —John Cage.

Helpful Hints: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully. Often save everything — it might come in handy later.

There should be new rules next week.
