It Takes a While – A Message from Ira Glass
In this video, Ira Glass of “This American Life” explains why we should all keep working on our craft. He talks about storytelling, but I think this can apply to just about anything. I haven’t seen someone so eloquently express that it takes a long time to get good at something creative. This is something that I have totally reminded myself and others of over the years; that the best makers or storytellers or artists are those people who keep at it.

Thanks for this! It reminds me of the quote, “A diamond is just a piece of coal who stuck to its job.”
