"A painter should be solitary. Solitude is essential to his art. Alone you belong to yourself only; with even one other person you are only half yourself, and you will be less and less yourself in proportion to the number of companions."
Italian Artist / Creative Leader
1452 - 1519
Our society is filled with noise and distractions. Some days it is difficult to think because there is so much activity. A creative leader must have solitude if he is to create. People can block the flow of creative juices. But we also need people for stimulus and inspiration. So it becomes a balancing act between too many people and too few people. If we have too many people in our lives, we stop creating. If we have too few people, we fail to incorporate new ideas into our work and become stagnant. What is the balance in your life?
