Keep Going（保持前進(jìn)），由紐約時報暢銷作家 Austin Kleon 所著，是一本只有10個章節(jié)，充滿各種手繪涂鴉與漫畫的小書，讀起來非常輕松，但卻包含了很多值得認(rèn)真思考的原則。Austin是暢銷書 Steal Like an Artist 的作者，一個會畫畫的作家，在創(chuàng)作的過程中，他將自己的感悟整理成10個原則，寫成了這本Keep Going。如果沒有經(jīng)歷過真正的創(chuàng)作，很容易給這本書貼上雞湯的標(biāo)簽，但對于有過創(chuàng)作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人們，一定會很贊同這些原則。 最喜歡書里的最后一條原則：專注在那些不過時的創(chuàng)作與事物上。在XTL演講時選擇去澆水而不是聽他演講的德國園丁，栽培出的鳶尾花在XTL死后20多年，依然盛開。 Keep Going by Austin Kleon is a small book with big wistom. There're 10 principles in the book, which are all the things he learned during his writing and drawing journey. Those principles, such as disconnect from the world to connect with yourself, are so simple to understand, but not easy to practice. Anyone who has a few years of creative experience, will learn that the creative life is not a linear journey to a finish line, it’s a loop—so find a daily routine, because today is the only day that matters. The book is full of drawings and sketch from the author, which make it so easy to read. There are maybe too many quotes in the book, but from my perspective, I quite like it. The most valuable tip I've learned from the book, is to respect time. Don't pay your attention on how to be rich at your thirties, but try to learn how to be still passionate about life and creativity at your eighties.
