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.
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.”
