## Brian Eno on Surrender <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5mqtc2Z3K8o" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen frameborder="0"></iframe> **_Inspiration by Brian Eno (Dunhill Interview, 2013)_** > “Enthusiasm, as in ‘I really, really want to know how this turns out.’ will carry you through many long nights.” > > "However, thinking 'I ought to do that' dries up quickly and won’t get you far." > It’s not so much creating something, I think, it’s noticing when something is starting to happen. And noticing it and then building on it and saying “That’s new”, “That hasn’t happened before”, “What does it mean?”, “Where can I go with it?” The master has spoken. **_This week I’ve learned that…_** - A blender is a god-sent device to make magical mixes out of about anything - In order to get a startup off the ground you need to be committed and can’t just do it “on the side” - I can’t control what other people do. Hence I won’t give too much thought into trying that anymore. - When I need to sleep, I have to make time for it. - Sleep refreshes the senses and clears out a lot of sub-conscious garbage. - Sleep takes time. - You can create a sort of virgin margarita/super lemonade at home with Lime juice, Raw honey and crushed Ice cubes - Some say Glycerine is the secret sauce to creating big bubbles when it’s actually J-Lube - Mate tea tastes great in the morning and will wake you up just like coffee - You can get fit without a gym by just doing body-weight exercises - It’s a a good idea to put all your supplements and allergy-medication into a small box instead of having the bottles float around everywhere - Regular soap when used to wash wooden floors will dull the surface and it will look less clean than before - It’s a good idea to start the week listening or watching inspirational videos from successful people - Just because the USPS says it has delivered a package doesn’t necessarily mean it actually happened. - Pre-made lunch-time Sushi from Japanese people is significantly tastier than from a random deli and doesn’t even have to be more expensive
