Lego Laws for Life
There’s no rejecting the enjoyable they supply for a kid or even for an adult, which is why, lots of Lego collections are passed down from one generation to the next. They act as an empowering impact on our lives in that they practically beckon us to change them into anything we desire or can think of.
Michelangelo was never ever brief on creativity regardless of the truth he understood absolutely nothing of Lego. My task,” he went on, “was to chip away at the unwanted bits of stone to expose the imagination and appeal within.”
It’s not a stretch to think that if Michelangelo lived today, he ‘d no doubt see resemblances in a basic box of Legos. He might have mentioned; the art is constantly in the bricks ... the difficulty is to assemble them to expose a thing of charm.
How real - however where’s the significance?
Lego Law # 1: With Legos, There are No Restrictions!
Metaphorically speaking, Lego Law # 1 in tandem with Michelangelo’s reasoning plainly shows a resemblance to humans and the laws that govern life.
Each one of us-- without exception-- is blessed at birth with imagination and creativity. I might wax on about this for days, my point is, people, like Lego, have the essential structure obstructs to achieve practically anything we desire or can imagine. We simply have to chip away at life to discover it.
Lego Law # 2: Legos need Sunlight!
No creativity, charm or imaginative artworks will ever pertain to fulfillment if the Lego collection is under a bed or in the back of a dark closet. That is to state, to produce fantastic works of Lego art, one need to free them from the dark to the light so that then-- and just then-- actions can be required to develop structure from motivation and creativity.
How unfortunate it is that the majority of people go through life keeping their innovative foundation in the darkness of their mind. Henry David Thoreau kept in mind, “Most individuals live lives of peaceful desperation.” Like concealed Legos waiting on brand-new innovative chances, people innately posses the basic foundation for enhancement that sit patiently for brand-new marching orders to reveal themselves.
Lego Law # 3: Don’t hesitate to Tear Down and Start Again!
Moms and dads are frequently shocked to see kids ruin a Lego production they worked hours on to finish. Psychologists fast to advise moms and dads, the act of damage is both developmental and healthy. In the end, kids discover much better and more ingenious methods to build their ‘Lego-ations’.
Not remarkably, the most effective males and females from all strolls of life will vouch for the reality that success of any kind arises from the act of teardown and restore. The mental inspiration for this is not rooted in continuous sensations of frustration or absence of achievement however rather a favorable belief in the important requirement to enhance through renewal.
On the other hand, whether it’s Legos or Life, a total teardown and restore is not constantly necessary. In Legos, the addition of 2 fictional jet engines might be all that’s required to turn an airplane into a JET-- and the exact same is likewise real for life methods.
Lego Law # 4: Lego Art Becomes an Immediate Target!
Do not ever anticipate your youth brother or sisters to share in your Lego vision. The truth is; little siblings and siblings are constantly all set to assist you accelerate the Lego Law # 3 routine - specifically the ‘Teardown’ stage. Experienced Legoists discover rapidly to secure their developments to guarantee they continue to gain the benefits of their effort.
Too in the laws of life! Those who labor up bring in unwelcome analysis on all they do as an outcome of their undaunted commitment to success. To attempt to differ from the crowd, to start an uncharted course, to run the risk of whatever by taking down to restore-- opens one approximately green-eyed analysis and not so unexceptional ridicule.
For the real Legoist, it is threat that fuels the fires that produce the brand-new and enhanced artwork. For high-achievers, threat fans the flames of enthusiasm, which, in the end, is what separates them from those who are predestined to sit, annoyingly, on the sidelines-- having currently put away their proverbial Legos!

Community
Not just my favorite TV show.
I spent the last two weekends attending classmates events for their communities. It was a lot of fun, and frankly, it was nice to see my classmates outside of school for a change. Even if it was technically a school event, it didn’t feel like one. I got to delve a little deeper into the lives of the 16 people I spend most waking hours alongside by sharing their hobbies and interests, not to mention venturing out into new spots in the City.
First, I went to Carrie Tsang’s “Dash and Dine,” at McCaren Park in Williamsburg. Though the wind was working against us last Saturday, we ran a few laps around the track before chowing down on some donuts. There were far more donuts than runners, so Carrie began handing them out to people on the track. Some were very enthusiastic, others a little dismayed, but it turned into a great way to recruit for her running club.
Next up was Sun Young Na’s “Scatchbook” event, hosted at her home in Brooklyn. Despite my cat allergies, I love drawing so I took some meds and went anyway. Sun Young laid down some paper on the floor and provided all sorts of drawing supplies for her guests to use. Drawing a moving cat turned out to be pretty tricky, but it was a fun challenge.
Later that day, I participated in Rachel Hsiung’s online chat, “Let’s Talk About Pay.” While it can be intimidating to talk about pay, interviews, and related processes, it can also be incredibly helpful. We gained some insights from people already in the industry and shared our horror stories and triumphs from past internships and how to go about asking for a raise. Rachel should be sharing a recap shortly.
On Sunday, I met up with Matt Lee’s “Legoist NYC” club, for Lego enthusiasts. As a team, people worked together to construct a large and complicated kit of a Star Wars spaceship. It was very neat to see people with similar passions talk about their craft and share their stories and inspiration.
I went to all these events, because I realized I didn’t know how to go about starting a community. All of the communities I have ever participated in have been well-established.
So, how do you get in on the ground floor? Well, I’ve learned a few things.
1. Your friends will probably be your first group members, and that is ok. In fact, it’s pretty great. They have your back, no matter what.
2. Have an objective goal in mind. Give your audience a task that will take them some time to complete. One that you do not have to be a part of.
3. Incentivize. Food is pretty good, so is beer. Offering small rewards for the “best” or “most creative” or “insert superlative here” is also a viable option.
4. Something will likely go awry. Roll with it. If you brought too much food, give it away and try and recruit new members. If your guests are allergic to your subject, be prepared with allergy meds. Whatever your hiccup is, work with it.
Finally, I realized a few things about my own projects. For starters, I have nowhere near the time to get my drawings done daily. Not while school is in session. I will have nothing but time coming up in May though, so that might be a better time for the challenge. An in person event, however, would be good to get the ball rolling and gauge interest. I also started to drink root beer again, and have been hash-tagging #RootBeerClubNYC to photos on social media whenever I do. I think sometimes putting too much pressure to create your community actually give you some disdain for it. Once the pressure is off, though, you can just enjoy the thing you love.
