The Gap: animation of Ira Glass's inspirational rant about overcoming fear of creative suckage

(a) it’s more like 99.9%

(b) You are literally telling me to focus on the good stuff, when the whole point of the video is that you can’t avoid the bad stuff until your ability catches up with your taste. My only point about the 10000 hour “rule” is that it’s functionally meaningless. Doing 10000 hours of something that is judged will make you get better, but just doing it is no guarantee.

I dunno. I feel you were answering a point that neither I nor the video made.
