Ok, after the Steve Job's speech I've become a sucker for great inspirational tidbits of advice. I'm not exactly sure how I came across this quote, and it doesn't deal directly with artwork (it has to do with working out), but I found the words to have resonance, so I thought I'd post them here. Read them and get fired up!
When we keep it simple, we're left with the hard part:
Doing the work.
We pretend like we don't know what to do, because what we need to do is hard.
We pretend it's complicated. It's not complicated, it's hard.
Most of the time the game is not figuring out what to do.
The real game is doing what we know to do.
You gotta want it.
You've got to want it enough to do it.
But the things you do you've got to do them in a way that's going to produce results.
It's about intention. Fire. Passion. Put in your blood, sweat and tears, and make it mean something.
This is an excerpt from this page, but these words hit home for me. I want to print these huge and paste it over my workplace... In fact I just might. I hope you guys share in the inspiration.
