“If I’m going to be in this industry, I’m going to want to be the best at it. And yet I couldn’t guarantee is that I was going to be the most talented in this business. But one thing I could guarantee is that I was going to work harder than anyone else.” -David Droga, Founder of droga5 Agency
Creative talent has always been a wispy thing, although you may know exactly where you fit in along the ‘talented’ spectrum. If you’ve got “it”, then–of course–enjoy sleeping in and waiving your magic wand. Seriously. I’m jealous as hell.
If, on the other hand, you’re like the rest of us and unsure if your talent alone is enough, don’t bet on it. My suggestion is to work your ass off. That way, whatever talent you’ve got under the hood will be amplified and you’ll at least have a well-earned chance at success. Hard work is where the rubber meets the road.
The video snipit from where I snatched the above quote, plus a couple of other tasty streaming bits from Droga and friends over at Black Bag, Diary of a Creative Director.
Thanks for the suggestions about credit repair on this particular web-site. What I would advice people is usually to give up the mentality that they may buy today and pay back later. As being a society we all tend to do this for many things. This includes vacation trips, furniture, along with items we really want to have. However, you’ll want to separate one’s wants from the needs. If you are working to raise your credit ranking score actually you need some sacrifices. For example you’ll be able to shop online to economize or you can click on second hand shops instead of highly-priced department stores pertaining to clothing.
So wonderful! Your composing skill is incredible.
It was sunny and 5 degrees farther when I took this picture in the middle of January. See the ice resting on the inside of the plastic?
I found your blog today, so I’m going a bit nuts! This is a pretty inspiring quote. It’s quotes like this that pop in my head when I’m sitting around thinking about what to do next with my camera in my hand. Keep working, keep perfecting, and all that hard work will pay off!
