Motivational story Picasso napkin
Picasso is at a cafe, chilling with his buds, when someone points to his used napkin and asks:
-”Can you draw an ear on this napkin?” Picasso complies.
-”Can you draw an eye somewhere on this napkin?” Picasso complies again.
-”How about a mouth?” Picasso obliges, again.
-”Now sign the napkin for me”.
Picasso says: “Sure. That’ll be $25,000!”
-”$25,000??? But, it only took you two minutes to draw them!” complains the fella.
-”Yes, but it took me 25 years for my signature to be worth something,” replies Picasso sheepishly.
Moral of the story: Artists, writers, designers spend years toiling and honing their skills; just because somethinglooks simple doesn’t mean it’s cheap and certainly not free.
