This video popped up in my feed today. The title pulled me right in. And man he spoke some words of wisdom. It’s why keep drawing, creating, practicing bike skills, and on and on.

"Your greatest asset that you have is your persistence. And it's the one thing that you're fully in control of."

"When you see someone who really excels at something, it's persistence and staying with it and repetition over a long period of time. That's what you're looking at."

So good.

Disney Imagineering Artist Says Talent is a Myth

YouTube

"I learned to do what I do by making mistakes just by screwing it up. Well, that didn't work. And trying something else. Embrace the mistakes."

"I think we're kind of trained in school and in life to get the right answers and you get rewarded for those and penalized for mistakes. But mistakes are where the really great learning and growth comes."

"Talent, I believe, is mostly a myth because I hear that a lot. Oh, you're so talented. And it's not really true."

- Ray Kinman, Disney Imagineer

@mark I hate how in certain schools they don’t go over what you got wrong. They just give you a score and you are done. They keep the test questions private after you take it “to prevent cheating” but that makes no sense. It completely neuters the process of learning.
