Picasso is in a park when a woman approaches him and asks him to draw a portrait of her. Picasso agrees and quickly sketches her.
After handing her the sketch she is pleased with the likeness and asks how much she owes him.
"$5,000," he replies.
The woman screams, "but it took you only five minutes."
"No, madam," Picasso replies, "it took me all my life."* * *
"Think of and look at your work as though it were done by your enemy. If you look at it to admire it, you are lost"
--Samuel Butler
Armed with these two truths you will both grow and prosper in your gifts.
