A Helpful Book.

I have a whole library of self-help books. They are such good teachers to me. Good books are real treasures, and this one in the picture is one of them. Do More Great Work is written by a man who has a gift for understanding the anatomy of great work. Here we're talking about quality work, the one that is meaninful and that makes us feel really proud of ourselves. 

I agree with the author: whatever work we do is basically bad work, good work or great work. In which one of these three places do we spend most of our time? Watch the little video below to have an idea of what bad work, good work and great work is. One thing is for sure: we all have the potential to do great work most of the time. 

 

Visions.

Closeup of my latest miniature book. 

I think that one of the powers of imagination is that it helps us visualise what we want to achieve. We can close our eyes and imagine something to the point where it feels very real. If something feels real in our imagination then we can make it happen outside our imagination, we can make it real.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.
Ayn Rand

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner

The only limits are, as always, those of vision.
James Broughton

If you have a vision, do something with it.
Anthony J. D'Angelo

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.
Joel A. Barker
