How to create a culture of learning?

Why You Shouldn't do What You're Told

Seth Godin talks about:
What it means to start small and start now
how do you know when to ship a project
how do you know how to market a product

starting a business “was never about how do I make money doing something. It was how do I find enough resources to do a project that I'm interested in. How do I be able to put on a show that I care about and if there's a business component to it that's fine, but for me the work has always been to do a project and sometimes those projects can be amplified by working for someone but even if you are working for someone you don't have to act as if it's a job. A job is where you try to please someone who tells you what to do and that person usually wants you to do what you did yesterday but a little faster and a little cheaper whereas impresarios and people who make projects are playing by a completely different set of rules.”

"...now that these platforms exist now that individuals like you and I can do the work we care about without a job and without a boss we shouldn't be teaching every single kid how to be normal we
should be teaching kids two things how to solve interesting problems and how to we're going to see our culture accelerate."

Places to Visit in NYC

There are trains and buses that you can take to get to the city.

Once you are in Manhattan, it is very easy to go around by subway. I suggest you buy a 7 day unlimited subway pass or a daily unlimited pass, and use that to go anywhere. Click here for subway map.

Depends what you want to do, for art museums, you can visit Met, Guggenheim, and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum - these three museums are close to each other and Central Park is nearby. 

Moma is at mid town and a lot of high end shops on 5th avenue where Moma is. Moma has films each day, you can get tickets at the ticket counter.

If you are into photography, there is International Center of Photography, also on 5th ave.

There is Museum of the Moving Image​, The Noguchi Museum,

in Long Island City in Queens, accessible by subway. There is a branch of the American Folk Art Museum​ there as well.

If weather is nice, you can go to HIghline Park for a walk.

Winer Garden​ and 911 Memorial are tourist attractions and both are located in downtown Manhattan.

Thoughts on humanity, fame and love

"There were the books of knowledge that you might read, then go ahead and impart your knowledge through innovation, through creativity, through technology, but mankind will never be the wiser about its future, unless it is coupled with the sense of love and compassion for their fellow beings. The two and half alphabets which form the word prem, which means love, if you are able to understand and practice it, that itself is enough to enlighten mankind."
