People often miss out on their own human genius because they’re trying to be more perfect than the gods.” — Curtis Tyrone Jones The mistake many of us make, however, is to simply look at the results. If everything turned out well, then we did a good job. If they didn’t, then we did a bad job. DAN performed his full band electric live tour and Duo Electric shows during 2019 in South Africa, and also presented a sold out guitar workshops at Schorndorfer Gitarrentage in June 2019.

The seed of your next artwork lies embedded in the imperfections of your current piece.” — David Bayles One of the best explanations I’ve heard of this recently comes from professional poker player Annie Duke.
