--haha all good Jan! It is a good reminder that even people who are probably horrendously busy still manage to make an hour a day to focus specifically on some active learning. We have no excuse :)

--and about the ethics: "behind every great fortune there is a great criminal", right? :D

--yeah, those are clickbait but the observation that there are certain behaviours that lead to achieving your goals is totally valid

--Oh man, not to disagree with the general ideas in that article which make good points, but I hate these dumb articles presented as "rules" to follow to be a successful person especially the totally arbitrary "5 hour" timeframe. Also why is success only attributed to people who have amassed billions of dollars probably done using questionable ethical standards? f*kin ugh.

--Sure, those traits are consistent across these successful people, but the last two criteria you mentioned in particular are vague enough that they mean completely different things for different people, so listing them as a common traits is kind of questionable.

--and they all work hard, but they dont confuse quantity with quality when it comes to learning new stuff
05 Aug 20:00
--there are a lot of common habits among those people tho; constant self education, experimentation, acceptance of mistakes, optimism, taking walks regularly, structured time, goal oriented...

--Thanks for sharing man. The article is right in principle imo. you don't learn a language by drilling vocab into your head 8 hours a day, and you don't learn drawing by doing the same thing over and over again either. Learning is all about making observations and connecting different pieces knowledge you have with one another. The whole 'all these successful people live by the same magical rule' type of thing-angle is a load of bs though.

--Hey Nick, we're still trying to get a time for CC5 Judging sometime next week. We are taking a break for August, and should restart again in September

--yep! it's the base of more complex drawings anyway and doing that will simplify the forms which makes it easier to memorize them too. chances are if you draw a horse like that 10 times from different angles and really construct it every time you'll memorize the basic forms and proportions forever
