The weird joys of being a student
Oh, hi friends!
When’s the last time you were a student?
I’ve been spending Tuesday nights at Droga5, an advertising agency here in New York, learning about strategy, art direction, and copywriting through their inaugural program called D5in10.
And it’s completely refreshing to just learn.
Maybe there’s a skill you want to develop.
A new discipline you want to explore.
What’s stopping you?
Not access.
You can learn from anyone, anywhere.
Fear?
Maybe that’s it.
Try being a student for one day.
One hour.
One lesson.
See what happens.
I need a lot of time to be alone with my thoughts, as it often takes a long time for them to become interesting.
Really enjoyed this Man Repeller piece on 5 authors on how, why, and where they write.
