I loved the comment "Fear doesn't go away." I had a student who was preparing for her graduate recital. She said she couldn't wait until she was experienced and didn't get nervous. I told her, "It will never happen." To produce something good, important, memorable...you have to be able to accept some suffering....but look at the reward! You'll immediately want to do it again!

This article should give anyone trying much hope and inspiration. I especially like point6 "The first draft will be bad. The first attempt might flop. But perfection is a trap that keeps you stuck". You are right, when we look back we might just grinch at our first attempt, but I don't care, probably only a small number of people is going to see it anyway.
