Ira Glass: "doing the work"

    Ira Glass shares a message about starting out on a creative idea or a certain taste we like and want to pursue. But for many, when they start out and see that their work is not turning out as great as they hoped, they would give up and quit. Ira Glass explains that it will take a lot of work to reach the quality one imagines or hopes to reach. 

    In rewriting what Ira Glass shares, I would say that pursuing a creative interest and reaching "perfection" will take practice and effort to be put into whatever you want to make. To master our craft is to do a lot of work and most of it will not always be good, and that is okay. The things we work on will not always be a one-and-done deal, so keep working at things that you are pursuing and do not give up. I feel like a branding project is the kind of project that Ira Glass describes as not being as good sometimes because it takes a lot of work to reach its final stage.
