I spend a lot of my time trying to make everything perfect and its hard for me to work past mistakes. I've been trying to let go more and play with my art in order to formulate more ideas. I've realized that in the end you may learn more by experimenting than by focusing all your energy on a single piece of work.
"It seems that while the 'quantity' group was busily churning out piles of work-and learning from their mistakes- the 'quality' group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."
Also this goes a lot with my reason for picking the first quote. I want to spend more time playing around and learning what works than by going off of a single idea and spending tons of time trying to make it work. In order for me to "join to quantity group" I need to learn how to let go of trying to be perfect and work more on experimentation.
"Talent may get someone off the starting blocks faster, but without a sense of direction or a goal to strive for, it won't count for much."
I've learned that this is true in almost every aspect of life. When your in middle school, and even sometimes in high school, if your really good at something everyone notices. Yet, as you move on into more advanced levels of a field the people who are the most impressive and the best at what they do are the ones who have spent hundreds of hours working on whatever it is they love to do. In the end you need to find not necessarily what your best at, but what you love the most and will work every day to improve at.
