Daily Inspiration
Don't Just Do "It", Do "This"
Sometimes when we get overly ambitious, we tend to list a wide range of goals and steps. However, once you make you hit a hard task, you might be prone to distractions and procrastination.
The real secret in long-term success is neither an inspirational slogan like “just do it”, nor a step-by-step plan. It's taking consistent actions, day-after-day, week-after-week, month-after-month. Every day, your new action needs to build on the momentum from your past actions, and you flow faster and faster towards your goal.
This day, try challenging yourself with some repeatable things. Instead of saying "I will read books and become knowledgeable." Try set a goal like: "I will read 20 minutes every day before bed" and see how it goes!

Um. So. Hi.
Recommended By School
Friedrich Einhoff: Artist of the Week
Einhoff’s works almost exclusively feature human figures: androgynous, anonymous, alien.
Einhoff frequently uses sand, dirt and concrete. This unconventional choice of media, in addition to the notoriously long amounts of time he takes, makes his work resemble excavated artifacts rather than paintings. The unique texture of wear-and-tear allow his human subjects to merge in the background, almost appearing as blisters or scars.
Modern Times: Exhibition of the Week
Collaborative program between UCCA and the Berggruen Museum in Germany
Unlike many other exhibitions that discuss modern art in the years between the world wars, Modern Times does not follow the typical movement-by-movement presentation of this period of rapid transition, but instead interweaving the works of iconic modern artists into a chronologically arranged, but also implicitily connected exhibitive experience, allowing the audience to experience the development and building of thoughts and ideas with out the end determined lens of the retrospect.
