SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE

To me, there are two types of creative people.

There are those who think that their work is superior to everyone else's.
These people talk about their work and their art all the time.
They look down on people for not appreciating their "masterpieces"
and they are jealous and condescending towards anyone's work that is accepted.
These creative people are usually unsuccessful artists simply because their high opinion
of themselves
and their work
gets in their way.

Then there are those
who think that their work is important
but
mostly in terms of their own self satisfaction.
They talk a lot less
and create a lot more than the other type of person.
They work very hard
and they appreciate other people's feelings
towards them
and
their work.
These creative people are usually
successful artists
because their realistic opinion of themselves
lets them work and grow past obstacles.
