Beautifully written and precisely to the point. One of my favorite "stories" is when Picasso or another famous painter was speaking with a reporter. In the middle of their conversation he excused himself to paint a picture. After finishing the reporter asked him how much he would sell it for. He said an enormous number to which the reporter replied, "not a bad amount of money for a half an hour of work."
The painter angrily explained that the finished product did not take half an hour, it had taken his entire lifetime.
