Ode To My Mentors : Part 1
Austin Kleon


Interesting stories are those which have crushing lows and soaring highs. I am not yet at my lowest point, but it is getting harder everyday. Most days thinking about my future leaves me shit scared.  So here I am trying my hardest to take it day by day.

Like I always do, I turned towards my mentors to pick me out of this slump. Today Austin Kleon's "Steal Like An Artist " came to my rescue. I have wasted three years of my life, I neither have a degree nor any viable skills and all my friends have jobs, while I am the one who needs a job the most. My family has very little money. I have very few friends. So what do I do, I asked.

 So Austin answered :

    " Whenever you're at a loss for what move to make next, just ask yourself, " What would make a better story? "

So what can I do today to make my story a better one. What can I do today so that I can find an interesting job or learn some new skills? HHHmmm.....

What  now?
1. Pick 1 Kickstarter project you are interested in and put it in spreadsheet with all its specs.

2. Pick 1 mentor and fill out his specs in a speadsheet

Thank you Austin for being the support I need now.
