0:00:29.757,0:00:34.331
Nobody tells people who are beginners...

0:00:34.331,0:00:37.164
and I really wish somebody had told this to me

0:00:37.164,0:00:39.695
is that all of us who do creative work

0:00:39.695,0:00:40.674
like you know we get into it

0:00:40.674,0:00:41.653
and we get into it

0:00:41.653,0:00:42.632
because we have good taste.

0:00:42.632,0:00:43.898
But it's like there's a gap

0:00:43.898,0:00:45.163
that for the first couple years

0:00:45.163,0:00:47.042
that you're making stuff

0:00:47.042,0:00:48.762
what you're making isn't so good okay?

0:00:48.762,0:00:49.819
It's not that great.

0:00:49.819,0:00:51.743
It's trying to be good has ambition to be good

0:00:51.743,0:00:53.267
but it's not quite that good.

0:00:53.267,0:00:55.183
But your taste the thing that got you into the game

0:00:55.183,0:00:57.238
your taste is still killer

0:00:57.238,0:00:59.277
and your taste is good enough that you can tell

0:00:59.277,0:01:00.802
what you're making is kind of

0:01:00.802,0:01:02.021
a disappointment to you

0:01:02.021,0:01:03.426
you know what I mean?

0:01:03.426,0:01:04.271
A lot of people

0:01:04.271,0:01:05.369
never get past that phase.

0:01:05.369,0:01:07.013
A lot of people at that point they quit.

0:01:07.013,0:01:08.879
And the thing I would just like say to you

0:01:08.879,0:01:11.664
with all my heart is that most everybody

0:01:11.664,0:01:15.241
I know who does interesting creative work

0:01:15.241,0:01:17.451
they went through a phase of years

0:01:17.451,0:01:18.890
where they had really good taste

0:01:18.890,0:01:20.059
they could tell what they were making

0:01:20.059,0:01:21.503
wasn't as good as they wanted to be.

0:01:21.503,0:01:23.043
They knew it felt short.

0:01:23.043,0:01:24.761
It didn't have this special thing

0:01:24.761,0:01:26.321
that we wanted it to have.

0:01:26.321,0:01:27.989
And the thing I would say to you is:

0:01:27.989,0:01:29.386
Everybody goes through that

0:01:29.386,0:01:30.358
and for you to go through it

0:01:30.358,0:01:31.301
if you're going through right now

0:01:31.301,0:01:32.857
if you just getting out of that phase

0:01:32.857,0:01:34.738
you got in now it's totally normal and

0:01:34.738,0:01:37.385
the most important possible thing you can do

0:01:37.385,0:01:38.729
is do a lot of work

0:01:38.729,0:01:40.125
do huge volume of work.

0:01:40.125,0:01:41.309
Put yourself on a deadline

0:01:41.309,0:01:42.784
so that every week or every month

0:01:42.784,0:01:45.149
you know you're gonna finish one story.

0:01:45.149,0:01:46.464
Cause it's only by actually going

0:01:46.464,0:01:47.923
through a volume of work

0:01:47.923,0:01:49.448
that you actually going to cat catch up

0:01:49.448,0:01:50.783
and close that gap.

0:01:50.783,0:01:52.501
And the work you're making

0:01:52.501,0:01:55.740
will be as good as your ambitions.

0:01:55.740,0:01:57.900
It takes a while it's gonna take you a while

0:01:57.900,0:01:59.258
it's normal to take a while

0:01:59.258,0:02:00.448
and you just have to fight

0:02:00.448,0:02:02.559
your way through that.

0:02:02.559,0:02:05.049
Okay?
