I was sitting in an introduction to calligraphy workshop when a fellow student asked the teacher, " What do I need to become a professional calligrapher? " We were all on the edge of our seats with that one.It was as if we were about to learn the secret ingredient to Grandma's cookies.The answer,to our surprise,was pen and paper.
" The materials are no different than that of a beginner calligrapher, " the instructor explained.The difference between a beginner and professional calligrapher is not in the tools they use,but rather in the professional's commitment (奉獻) to practice and the time they took to learn and do something.
The same goes for any professional at their craft.
When we look up to the expert,we think that increasing the quality of materials or having access to nicer resources is what makes them great.This assumption doesn't take into account the time it would have taken them to learn something new and to achieve their goals.
Instead,we want to cut corners,looking for a shortcut.We want to make progress as soon as possible.But it is not a strategy that necessarily benefits us.
My current goal is to become an independent filmmaker.What would it take,what would I need to make the best movies?I too,wanted the shortcut.The direct way to achieve my goal.Is there a certain camera I need to have,light kit (工具箱),microphone or skill that would lead me right to success?After watching online videos about film-making,I realized I had all that I needed to achieve my goal.There was no shortcut to film-making.It was just going to take time.
It's easy to get caught in wasting time looking for a solution instead of time.In the end,we lose energy and motivation looking for the right tools or answers.
We do things to go fast rather than far.We focus on the end result instead of allowing ourselves to enjoy the journey.Go for.Reach farther.Take the time to become your best self.
