The ones who want everyone to understand just how lucky they are to work in their golden shadow. These long-held beliefs simply don’t serve us well in today’s competitive work environment.

When I wanted to study him for my bachelor's degree, I had to do it all myself - because there were no tutors at the University who specialised in his work. As he worked, Peake switched back and forth between writing and sketching, so that the manuscripts of his novels are littered with drawings of the characters. Cultivate Illusions.
