Ten Rules

Rule One: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile.

Rule Two: General duties of a student: pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.

Rule Three: General duties of a teacher: pull everything out of your students.

Rule Four: Consider everything an experiment.

Rule Six: Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail, there’s only make.

Rule Seven: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.

Rule Eight: Dont try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.

Rule Nine: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.

Rule Ten: "We’re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities." John Cage
