“People I know who succeed don't mind working. Those who are competent seem to like doing things well -- not stopping because they haven't accomplished what they wanted to on the first go-round.

“Artists and creative workers - people who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. They haven't been contented with mediocrity. They haven't confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others do them, but always a little better. Few are those who see with their own eyesand feel with their own hearts.” PeopleWayFeelsHeartLittlesArtistCreativeHavensWorkersTrackSatisfiedAccomplishedMediocrityWorthwhileBeatenConfinedCreative Work Author:Albert Einstein
