is a link to a short essay by jazz artists Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Although it is intended for artists, it applies to all creative people and I think resonates with the essence of what I was saying at LOTE5 and I think describes the ethos and spirit of what Edgeryders is to me. Highly recommended.
These are their points (that they elaborate on wonderfully):
FIRST, AWAKEN TO YOUR HUMANITY
EMBRACE AND CONQUER THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
WELCOME THE UNKNOWN
UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF OBSTACLES
DON’T BE AFRAID TO INTERACT WITH THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOU
STRIVE TO CREATE AGENDA-FREE DIALOGUE
BE WARY OF EGO
WORK TOWARDS A BUSINESS WITHOUT BORDERS
APPRECIATE THE GENERATION THAT WALKED BEFORE YOU
LASTLY, WE HOPE THAT YOU LIVE IN A STATE OF CONSTANT WONDER
