In the brilliant film Ex Machina the following exchange between two protagonists stuck with me:
Nathan : You know this guy, right? — Jackson Pollock. — Jackson Pollock.
Caleb : Excuse me?
Nathan : I’m Kirk. “ You know what? I can’t paint anything, unless I know exactly why I’m doing it.” What would have happened?
Caleb : He never would have made a single mark.
We keep looking for That Perfect Moment to start doing anything. some day .
You’ve got to play around with what you have today before you can satisfactorily move on to the next thing. wrong positions dearly . Question everything.
Engage intellect.
