"I was an avid reader of history and particularly the lives of great men and women. I found that some were born to greatness, some attained it by accident, and some worked for it."
American President, Author
1884 - 1972
As creative leaders we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before. What do you know of the lives and works of these earlier artists, writers, musicians and storytellers? What were the challenges they faced and the difficulties they overcame? What creative ideas did they have that have made our work easier? What knowledge did they have that has now been lost to the dustbins of history? Which painters, writers and musicians are your heroes?
Most people are not born to greatness. They usually work hard to achieve what they desire, but in the end the fame they find is often by accident. So my advice is to work hard every day and enjoy what you do.
