While recently in Paris, I had a chance to see an exhibition called, Picasso and the Masters. This is a four month exclusive event that is being shown at three museums.
The exhibit follows Pablo Picasso's work and the artists who inspired him. Picasso, while perhaps best known for his abstract style, could paint very well in a variety of methods. For instance, he might see a painting by an impressionist and then do his own take on the work. Picasso wasn't copying the art but rather used it as a source of inspiration. The results are on display and you get to see Picasso's work and the ones that got his creativity flowing.
Today we have so much information at our fingertips but do we use it to inspire ourselves? Think of successful companies, find out what they are doing right, and see if you can build upon their ideas. Reward yourself with five to ten minutes a day where your sole purpose is to learn something new and think how it can apply to your life. Even if it doesn't yield any immediate benefits, it may come in handy later on.
