8 BE HUMBLE, BE A STUDENT
My professional approach to stay humble is to take the position that I am the least talented/experienced artist in the room. More importantly, this is a mechanism that compels me to retain an open-to-learn mindset and to ask as many questions to the ‘expert’ of how I can improve. The most effective way I can do that is not to get hung up on what I already know, be as curious about whatever is being shared with me, and try to incorporate what an exceptional artist is willing to share and teach.
