I’m sure you agree with me that career and creativity are two of the central defining aspects of our lives as vibrant, happy, prosperous human beings. When they exist in harmony, and in healthy a relationship to each other, they contribute to our sense of significance and the energized and inspired state we refer to as “zest for life”. One of the things you’re really going to love about this article is that it outlines four powerful metaphors that you can use to clarify your perspective on your career and creativity, and forge a harmonious relationship between these two central life-facets for a happy, meaningful and prosperous life.

But before we get to those powerful metaphors, a bit of background and context. Most of us spend a huge chunk of our precious life-hours in activities directly or indirectly related to work. Yet few people plan, visualize, or craft their careers or career transitions with as much care, awareness, and dedication as buying a car, painting the house, or going on holiday.

Humans are natural creators. We all aspire to nurture our great ideas from their infancy, through the shaky days of toddler-hood and puberty, and to finally to see them living as independent and appreciated creations. Whatever else we are creating, whether in the artistic, scientific, technical, or other domains, we are also as a side-effect creating meaning within our own lives and in the world. This in turn adds to our sense of significance and our zest for life.

Our careers are themselves powerful sources of creative opportunity, and forces for creation. But most aspiring creators soon come up against internal and external obstacles which seriously limit the chances of their creations surviving or flourishing as significant entities in the world.

Why use metaphors? Metaphor is a powerful creative mind-tool. Perhaps it is the most powerful, as it forms the basis of many of our other creative tools such as picture, story, symbol, and creative thinking. A metaphor is simply a statement or reference relating one thing or situation to another seemingly unrelated thing or situation.

Metaphors form such a natural part of our language and thinking that we often do not notice them. But the metaphors we use have a profound effect on how we view ourselves, our lives, our careers, and our organizations. They also influence the outcomes of our ventures. For example, a CEO who sees herself as the general of an army is likely to have a very different leadership style to one who sees herself as the conductor of an orchestra. She is also likely to build a very different kind of organization with very different results.

Metaphors are useful for making information more palatable to our minds by allowing us to organize and structure separate bits of information into meaningful, coherent, and satisfying frameworks. The four metaphors I present in this article look at four possible relationship between career and creativity and conform to an overarching metaphorical theme of creating a piece of art such as a painting, a story, a sculpture, or a song.

THE FOUR METAPHORS

1. Career as Paintbrush:

The first metaphor refers to using the elements and resources of your career in a creative way to bring about value for your clients, employers, the target market, and other stakeholders. Here the elements and resources of your career are used as artistic tools and resources, and would correspond metaphorically to the painter’s paints and brushes, the singers voice, the musician’s instrument, or the writer’s pen.

2. Career as Painting:

The second metaphor relates to applying your creativity to design, craft, and create your ideal career. Here your career itself becomes the art-form, similar to a painting or sculpture. It is the object or artifact to be created. One benefit of seeing your career as a work of art, is that a creative process can be used in its crafting.

3. Career as Artist’s Patron:

The third situation is where your career serves as a patron of your artistic or creative endeavor. Here, the person’s creative pursuits might not be directly related to her career, as in the case of an accountant who is also a weekend sculptor, or an engineer who writes poetry. So what exactly is the relationship of the patron (career) to the creative endeavor? I believe that in its most healthy and harmonious form it is a reciprocal relationship where the career, as patron, supports the creative endeavor financially and materially, and the creative process and products energize and inspire the career, giving it an added significance and meaning.



4. Career as Artist’s Model:

The fourth and final metaphor refers to using artistic modes such as storytelling, collage, poetry, and art-journaling to reflect on and enhance your understanding, inspiration and engagement with your career. Here your career serves as the subject of your art, in the same way as a painter’s model or landscape might serve as the subject for a painting, and a lyricist’s personal experiences might serve as the subject matter for writing a song. This kind of creative engagement with career as artistic subject is a valuable reflective tool for enriching your inner map of your career and the broader career landscape. This, in turn, can help you stay on-track for all the other career-creative goals embodied in the three previous metaphors.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

In summary, the four metaphors are: career as paintbrush, career as painting, career as artist’s patron, and career as artist’s model. By internalizing these four metaphors for career-creative harmony, you can visualize and craft your career and creative endeavors in a powerful and complementary way to ensure yourself a life of career-creative harmony and zest.

ASDF asked:


I am an incoming freshman planning to major in Economics at UC Davis. I would like to work at a bank, become an accountant, or do something related to finance for my career. I don’t know much about these careers, but I really want a job that pays well.
My opinion so far on some specific jobs:
Accounting- seems boring, but a stable job. Are there different types of accounting? What classes should I take? What’s the average salary?
Management- requires an outgoing and friendly person with a good attitude and outstanding leadership skills, able to handle situations on the spot. Not everyone can do it, but if you have these skills, you’ll excel in this area.
Investment banking- extremely competitive to get into, extremely competitive job in general, work 60+ hours per week, but extremely good pay. I especially want information for this. What classes should I take? What would help me get a job in this area?

I am looking to model in the high fashion industry. I am planning on going on America’s Next Top Model but I am wondering if it would be possible to go to college before I begin my career. I know that the career doesn’t last forever and that is why I would like to go to college so that way I could get another job once I am too old to model. If you could tell me how long a modeling career lasts in the high fashion industry. Any additional information would be appreciated. Thank you.

This video was never part of the show, but here at Generation X Live! we love hockey and the violence that comes with it. Nobody did them both better than Ron Hextall. He was probably the most complete goaltender ever to play. From stopping the puck, to his handling of it, so scoring to intimidating the opposing players, and probably being the first goalie to cause teams to change their game plans to keep the puck away from him. To this day we miss his presence in the crease and the music he made on the pipes. This is my little tribute to him. Thanks for the memories Ron!

aitck3 asked:


I know some guys start going into competitions in the middle of their college years, but how exactly do they do that? Do people look for the best and recruit them, or do the gymnasts go to the places? If they have to go to the place, what are the “places” exactly? How much do they get paid? How long do their careers last? How many gymnasts actually get a career as one, because athletic careers are always limited? I can’t find the answers anywhere. Please help. Thanks.

Three-time scoring champ hits career high

Allen Iverson gave the crowd an electrifying performance to remember. Then the fans returned the favor with raucous ovations he won’t soon forget.

“That’s when you get the goose bumps,” Iverson said. “You honestly don’t really feel it when the shots are going down. You don’t ever get the goose bumps until the fans start to appreciate what you’re doing out there.”

The Philadelphia star scored 60 points, a career high and the most in the NBA this season, to lead the 76ers to a 112-99 victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.

Iverson, averaging an NBA-leading 29.7 points, was 17-of-36 from the field and made 24 of 27 free throws. His previous high was 58 against Houston on Jan. 15, 2002.

“I score a career high and we won the game,” Iverson said. “That’s how you draw it up in your dreams.”

It was the first 60-point game in the NBA since Tracy McGrady scored 62 for Orlando against Washington on March 10, 2004, Indiana’s Jermaine O’Neal had the previous high in the NBA this season, scoring 55 points against Milwaukee on Jan. 4.

Iverson, who had 54- and 51-point performances in consecutive games in December, also had the fourth-highest total in 76ers’ history, behind only Wilt Chamberlain.

Iverson scored 29 points in the first half, banging and crashing all over the court while helping the 76ers turn it into a rout.

After Orlando went on a mini-run in the third that cut a 25-point deficit to 11, Iverson hit a 3-pointer from the right side as time expired to reach 40.

Then Iverson earned a standing ovation for points 50 and 51.

He stole the ball and was fouled hard on a layup attempt, slamming against the floor as he seemingly always does. The crowd erupted and stood in appreciation for Iverson, who went to the line and made a couple of free throws.

It was the same for points 59 and 60 — two more free throws. The fans were on their feet each time Iverson had the ball in the fourth quarter, giving a routine game the feel of a Game 7.

“When they’re up, when they’re making noise and they’re feeling good, that makes you feel good, that makes you feel good about people coming out to see you,” Iverson said. “It’s something they might remember and cherish for the rest of their lives.”

The game certainly left an impression on Sixers coach Jim O’Brien.

“I’ve never witnessed a performance like this,” O’Brien said. “This is the greatest performance I’ve ever witnessed.”

Iverson was consistent from the start, scoring 17 points in the first quarter, 12 in the second, 11 in the third, and 20 in the fourth. Eleven of his fourth-quarter points came from the line.

“It was just attacking, attacking, attacking all night,” Iverson said. “I guess that’s why I went to the free-throw line as much as I did. I didn’t settle for jump shots.”

The 76ers pulled within one game of Boston for the Atlantic Division lead and are one game under .500 (25-26). They haven’t been at .500 since they were 6-6 on Nov. 26 and haven’t had a winning record since they were 4-2 on Nov. 14.

Maybe Philadelphia needs more 40-point games from Iverson — the 76ers are 5-1 when he reaches that mark this season. Iverson also had his ninth 50-point regular-season game. He’s scored 50-plus three times in the playoffs.

Corliss Williamson added 18 points for the 76ers. He started in place of Kenny Thomas, sidelined by a back injury.

Steve Francis scored 32 points for the Magic, and Grant Hill had 16.

“It was one of those nights from a superstar performer,” said Magic coach Johnny Davis, who coached Iverson in his rookie season (1996-97). “We had different defenders on him all night. He just had a dominant game.”
