Advice and Soundbites
If you don't feel passionate about history or about math right now, that's not the trick. The trick is that you've got to learn how to pursue what you like by disciplining yourself to get through the things we don't [feel passionate about]. Augusto Herrera
My first art teacher told me on the first day of class... A laborer is someone who works with their hands. A craftsman is someone who works with their hands and their head. An artist is someone who works with their hands, their head, and their heart. Augusto Herrera
Helpful Football Analogy - Everyone has a different job. The quarterback can't be great unless he has someone to catch the ball, and the receiver can't be great unless he's got a quarterback to give it to him. But in every play, one of the two sides will always succeed and [one will] fail, and that's the trick again is how not to quit. And sometimes things happen, and your quarterback gets sacked... you loose 15 yards, but that doesn't mean you are going to loose the game. Augusto Herrera
