  1. It is a fact that we are alive. We are alive right now. We will die one day. What should we do with our time?<\/li>\n
  2. In our free time, we should be ACTIVE, and CREATE MEANING in our lives. <\/li>\n
  3. A good way to create meaning in life: MAKE PHOTOS. Why photos? It is easy. We can all do it with our phones or cameras. <\/li>\n
  4. Happiness in life is a sense of PROGRESS. By improving our photography, we find more happiness and GROWTH in life. <\/li>\n
  5. To have more fun, we need more CHALLENGE in photography. To add more DEPTH, LAYERS, and visual complexity to our images. <\/li>\n
  6. Sometimes the best way to make better photos is to make more SIMPLE photos. It is more difficult to make a blissful, SIMPLE photo…compared with a cluttered photo. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For me, I have more joy in making my own photos, than looking at the photos of others.<\/p>\n

    First proposition: Make more photos, and look less at the photos of others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Looking at the photos can inspire us. Which is good. But we certainly want to be CREATORS, not consumers.<\/p>\n

    \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/p>\n

    But how can we inspire ourselves to MAKE MORE PHOTOS and MAKE MORE ART?<\/a><\/p>\n

    Think less, shoot more.<\/strong><\/p>\n
