I daresay that any creatives aspiring to have a spotlight aimed at them --and sustained in time for at least 15 minutes -- might want to consider developing certain basic skills such as disciplined patience, hard work, and perseverence. I suspect a measure of luck may also be needed for success (i. e. the Midas touch). Andy Warhol is a great example of someone who took his time developing such skills.
Well said and thought out comment from you Clint. Sadly with the rate of technology advancement and SM(all forms) the younger generation can only relate to the images given to them to 'thrive on'. Far too many only see life as a screenshot of the latest game, fad and they think that's life, I can kill, stab, wreck cars because that's what they see on a screen before their eyes, and of course on a screen it's just a pixelated victim, not real flesh and blood. I'd better shut up as I could be seen as well..........whatever 🧐 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴
I see your point and it's sooooo true for tooooo many. But not all. Quite a few of youngens I've met are far more empathetic than I ever was at their age. Maybe to a fault. The pendulum swings are mighty real. Between generations...and sometimes within them too. Humans. We're such a complicated lot, ain't we? Cheers!

Exactly! To quote filmmaker Steven Soderbergh—who wrote this after his FIRST film: “Talent plus perserverance equals luck. Be ready when it happens.”
