What a great site! And so applicable to LBP2!* http://www.the-50.org * - Well, ok, not all of the 50 rules. But most! Here's a quick preview: 1 You are not the first http://www.the-50.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/1.jpg There are very few ?firsts? these days. Countless others have started studios, freelanced and requested internships. It can be done. 2 There is always someone better http://www.the-50.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2.jpg Regardless of how good you are, there will always be someone better. It's surprisingly easy to waste time worrying about this. 3 Success is not a finite resource http://www.the-50.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/3.jpg College fosters a zero-sum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%E2%80%93sum_game) mentality: that someone has to fail for you to succeed. In truth, another?s success doesn?t limit yours. 4 You cannot score without a goal http://www.the-50.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/4.jpg If you don't know what you want, then how can you pursue it? Having a goal defines an end point, and subsequently, a place to start. 5 Starting anything requires energy http://www.the-50.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/5.jpg It takes more energy to start than it does to stop. This is true for physics, your career, and that idea you need to work on.

Love it! Being a recent and job-seeking graduate myself, this put me in a much better mood.

This will help me a great deal; not only because I play LBP, but because I will be working in the creative field in the future. Thanks.

Great little list, thanks for sharing it with us schm. Simple rules can go a long way in some situations, and I'd say I'd disagree with Rule #37, unless he's joking since he did say falsely before already insulting new ideas, with double negative cancelling out plus rule 47 pretty much says the exact opposite, saying you should share your ideas, unless of course he means in some specific way of doing business.

Well, the "ideas" are set in the frame of looking to expand in a creative career, not necessarily towards LBP2 creators. However, in #37, the word 'stupid' is in single quotes to highlight that you should not dismiss ideas because they seem 'stupid' or unachievable to you: "New ideas are conceived with no context and no measures of success ? this falsely makes them feel silly, awkward or even impossible."
