Every little step comes only after ridiculous amounts of practice and work for me.

Bill Evans, about as great a pianist as there ever was, spoke about going to Jazz camp when he was a teenager, and how there were other kids his age who seemed to pick up everything effortlessly, while he had to work hard as heck for what he learned.

Having to work hard for it is a good thing.

At least I presume it is.

I couldn't resist that last line. Who could, could you?
