i just read an article on comedian Jerry Seinfeld in the New York Times. The author of the piece brilliantly conveys the behind-the-scenes work that Seinfeld pours into his stand-up routines. It convinced me once again, that, regardless of one's field, all creative endeavors follow a similar path: you have to spend time, you have to practice, you have to be willing to fail, you have to be open to what the world has to offer, and be able to pay attention to details. Read it- it's worth it!
