The New ABC – Always Be Creating (Or Ricky Gervais On Fame)

Most of you will be familiar with Alec Baldwin’s legendary speech in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. The main take away from his speech is his ABC motto. Always Be Closing. In the context of the film this refers to salesmen that need to make their sales goals.

Below is an excellent quote from an interview that Esquire did with Ricky Gervais in this month’s issue. I propose we combine his point of view with that of Alec’s character, and turn it into a new ABC. Always Be Creating. Whether it’s a song, an amazing short story, a bunch of code, a photo, a meal, or a design for a new bicycle. Strive to affect the world positively by creating something great. A sex tape doesn’t count.
