The article Brainwashed by Seth Godin talks about seven ways to reinvent yourself. Seth basically says that society has “brainwashed” children to live a certain way and the young people grow up living up to society’s standards.
Layer #1 Acknowledging the Lizard
This layer is about the little voice in everyone’s head. It’s the voice telling you to not go outside the box. Everyone is so self-conscious about their artwork so they are afraid to share it with the world in fear of being laughed at. We must acknowledge this problem in order to ignore it. If we follow the rules and refuse to put our artwork out there, we will never fulfill our dreams and will stay behind the walls of society.
Layer #6 Fail
This layer deals with challenging the lizard as well. The population should be able to fail in certain things, in front of the public. This comes back to the self-esteem of society and how willing people are to risk something if they might fail.
“If you take no risk you win no victories.”
-Richard Milhous Nixon
Connection To Our Blogs
All of these layers explain how blogs will help me become an artistic person. Blogs help you get your voice heard in some aspects and can give you the confidence to raise that voice. Also if you fail miserably it can give you constructive criticism if someone comments on your blog. It will help you criticize your own work, which can only make you better. Blogs cannot hurt your chances only help you gain skills and confidence.
