the things that cannot be changed, Courage
to change the things which should be changed,
And the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.”

(“The Serentiy Prayer” by Elisabeth Sifton)

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.”

Ira Glass reflects on taste and creative work.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” ~ Dr. Seus
