An olive tree takes 2000 years to grow naturally. All olives you've eaten are from grafts on existing trees, unless they use other artificial processes.
Don't have 1-year, 5-year, or 50-year plans. Have 500-year plans. Think like an olive farmer. You are planting olive trees, for generations to benefit.
For 2021, decide on a theme. My theme is this: 'Create High Art'. Great works stand the test of time. Shakespeare, Picasso, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Beethoven.
Next year, I want to focus on creating fewer works, but works of value, works that mark a blip in civilization's progress. I want to think like an olive farmer. I hope you do too.
