"Zhou essentially argues that the same selfish characteristics that can harm a company can actually secure long-term artistic reputations. Basically, the art world may be the place where self-obsession and delusions of grandeur are put to some sort of social use. Better to quarantine them in the studio than have to deal with them in the boardroom."

"When producing ideas, you replenish neurotransmitters linked to genes that are being turned on and off in response to challenges. Going through the motions of generating new ideas increases the number of contacts between neurons, and thereby energizes the brain. Every hour spent activating your mind by generating ideas increases creativity. By painting a picture every day, you would become an artist -- perhaps not Van Gogh, but more of an artist than someone who has never tried."

Michael Michalko explains that everyone is an artist and that it takes belief and persistence to nurture this quality. He offers seven principles about creative thinking that he wishes he'd known as a student.
