Chapter 8 - Steal Like an Artist [Book Summary]
The 8th chapter of the book suggested to Be Nice.
Say nice things about people and make friends. Why? Because you're only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with. And if you ever find that you're the most talented person in the room, find another room.
Another suggestion from Austin was to keep a praise file.
Keep it around for when you need the lift. And it sure works. I started doing it recently. My file consists of screenshots of all the testimonials, recommendations and good words I receive.
Also, get comfortable being misunderstood, disparaged or ignored. Get too busy to care. The best way to get approval is to not need it.
You, of course, can get angry. But keep your mouth shut and channel it into your work.
