NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES
The phrase “never meet your heroes” is a proverb suggesting that meeting people you admire, or “heroes,” can lead to disappointment because their real-life personalities may not live up to the idealized versions you’ve created. This can be due to unrealistic expectations or simply the fact that everyone has flaws and imperfections.
SEPARATING THE ART FROM THE ARTIST
The idea of separating the art from the artist involves evaluating the artwork independently from the artist’s personal actions or beliefs, particularly when those actions are deemed immoral or harmful. This concept is frequently invoked when an artist’s reputation is tarnished by controversial or problematic behavior. The debate surrounding this idea is complex, with valid arguments on both sides.JOE
JOHARI WINDOW
The Johari window is a technique designed to help people better understand their relationship with themselves and others. It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft (1916–2014) and Harrington Ingham (1916–1995) in 1955, and is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise. Luft and Ingham named their model “Johari” using a combination of their first names.
