– “I hate the world.”
– “Lovely.”
– “What’s lovely?”
– “You’re angry.”
– “So?”
– “Anger is motivational.”
– “Nobody accepts my creation.”
– “What do you think is the reason?”
– “Nobody understands its value.”
– “Nobody, you say?”
– “I’ve been to fifty people.”
– “And so it’s their fault?”
– “They have no taste.”
– “I can speak in Latin.”
– “Nobody can speak Latin.”
– “How do you know?”
– “I’ve never heard anyone speaking Latin.”
– “I hate people who can’t speak Latin.”
– “Why?”
– “There’s so much knowledge in it.”
– “So?”
– “So they’re missing out on it.”
– “And you want to share it with them?”
– “Yes.”
– “And you think it’s their fault you can’t?”
– “Of course it is.”
– “No it isn’t.”
– “Why not?”
– “Why don’t you speak the language they get?”
– “As opposed to expecting the whole world to learn Latin?”
– “Exactly. For it’s you who wants to share. They didn’t ask for it.”
– “You get that, right?”
– “Of course I do.”
– “So you aren’t an idiot after all.”
– “Huh?”
– “Just pretending to be.”
– “What??”
– “My friend, creation is same as communication. One speaks it by production. Another listens to it by implementation. You want to be heard? Then check if your creation is in the language people understand.”
– “Oh.”
– “It’s easy to call yourself a victim. Many in your place rush to declare that. Victims of rejection. Misunderstood and discarded. Get something straight. The world ain‘t your mommy. No-one’s gonna be patient with you for long. Creation has two values. (1) Practicality and (2) Usability. Check practicality first. It’s a fact that comedy movies make more business than philosophy books. You can whine about people’s ‘poor taste’; but who cares? What’s the plan? Guilt them into buying stuff? No-one ever got customers by telling people they’re stupid.”
– “Oh. So I should just give them what they want?”
– “Too ordinary? Think you’re a visionary? Bringing something new out there? Stuff they don’t know they want, yet? Like Facebook back in 2005? Then check the usability. You might’ve figured out the elixir of eternal life; but no-one’s gonna care if it needs them to put their elbow in their mouth first. No-one can. Try it.”
– “I get it now…”
– “It’s simplicity that turns usable inventions useful. Will your creation make a difference in people’s lives? Sure it will, provided you’re making it possible for them. Producer can be visionary; market remains ordinary. And it’s that market that feeds you. Make it unique for your satisfaction; keep it simple for the world’s. Creator creates. Salesman sells. Be both. Be productive; but be user-friendly too.”
