Loretta! You DO have quotes everywhere! Th...Haha. Loretta! You DO have quotes everywhere! That is so cool!!! :D Thanks for showing us that. I, for one, would never have picture so many bits of paper in so many places. Again--> :D<br /><br />Re: the amateur quote. I actually had to read it over and over to figure out what I thought it meant. <br /> <br />After the third time that I read, ""The artistic temperament is the indulgence of the amateur," I remembered what was often said about movie stars back in the old days. (You know, when we were kids.) The star would act up, demand ridiculous things or refuse to work, and someone would say, "Oh, we overlook all that. It's just her artistic temperament."<br /><br />And then it struck me. It was the amateur who had those self-indulgent fits. The old pro, who had already developed their r skill set, just calmly did his job and gained respect along with his continued success.<br /><br />And then I thought of other instances. When drama was in full swing and someone who actually knew what they were doing showed up, that person could calmly and with assurance say a few words and take the situation in hand. And everyone would go from drama to a sigh of relief. The temperamental ones were simply revealing that they lacked skill! :o<br /><br />I thought of times when I was all overwrought...and times when I was the calm, skilled one. And I realized that, yes, the "artistic temperament" IS the indulgence of the amateur. The experienced dogs just keep trudging along, getting the thing done. Without the need for drama--because they know what they're doing. Skill is not lacking so fits are not utilized to fill the gap. <br /><br />Haha. See what a big story I got from your little quote?<br /><br />When it comes to weight loss, I think it's time for me to "Stay calm and carry on." Temperamental fits don't seem to be working...<br /><br />Deb<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-35772612575092265262012-08-27T14:25:09.422-07:002012-08-27T14:25:09.422-07:00Great quote.
