When you do your “thing”, you don’t have to try that hard.

Remember Steve Job’s commencement speech at Stanford, when he said, you should search and never stop searching to find the role and the career that suits you. This weekend, I had a chance to go, see Andy Warhol exhibition at National Gallery of Art (http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/warholinfo.shtm). For those of you who don’t know him, aside from the obvious wikipedia, maybe you should check this out.

I’m not still sure how to feel about his art. But, sure I can tell that his work is creative, engaging, and thought provoking. And at the end of the day, aren’t these supposed to be the characteristics of good art? More importantly, he takes the most ordinary subject of our day-to-day life and makes something interesting out of it. So simple and almost effortless.

So the question is how did he become the Andy Warhol doing what he did? What was so special about his art? I think the answer is that he did his “thing”. And when you do your “thing”, you don’t have to try that hard.
