But to him, it's priceless.<BR/><BR/>But I see your point (that's why I said validation is important when it comes to your <EM>craft</EM>). It can be a double-edged sword, mon ami. You can go do what you're good at and make money out of it, but if you find yourself doing it for the money, it'll tend to become boring after a while. There has to be a balance between internal and external appreciation. <BR/><BR/>Doing what you love, having it appreciated, and getting paid dear, dear moolah for it is nirvana. I have no hatred for money (I'd love to get my hands on a lot of it) and it's a big part of "success," but it ain't the be-all and end-all. Just putting in my two centavos' worth. :-)Lizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612798054079065399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-78679029188706511162007-04-10T02:35:00.000+08:002007-04-10T02:35:00.000+08:00Sorry to play party pooper (hmm, alliterative, tha...Sorry to play party pooper (hmm, alliterative, that) but Prometheus wanted to get this one out. Great post as usual Liz. But ain't that rose special for the prince and The Prince alone? Ain't a tradable commodity. Wouldn't get 2 Dirhams more at the Dubai Flower Center. And no, it does nothing for his NASDAQ scrip. Finally, its the success (monetization?) that one's work achieves that is evaluated. Unless an item (script, photo, symphony, bottle) is deemed 'amazing' by enough number of people to make a 'critical mass', it might well be (at least looked upon as) a case of a parent comparing their cherub's cacophony to Beethoven's 5th. As a wise man once said "show me the money".Prometheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100825003021199721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-7822283456659731822007-04-10T02:06:00.000+08:002007-04-10T02:06:00.000+08:00Lisa: We, each one, have our own unique ways of co...<B>Lisa</B>: We, each one, have our own unique ways of contributing to the world.
