#16 Get rid of the need for instant gratification.
Understand that it takes time for your ideas to blossom. Don’t get discouraged if you do not think of an award winning idea 10 minutes after a new project is handed out. Many of us try create FINAL drawings and models (and you know who you are) right from the beginning of a project without doing the proper amount of sketch work. Just remember that THE ROCK CREATES THE MOUNTAIN. It takes time for ideas to grow and become big and strong, and yes, you have to feed them.
