The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed. Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can. The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.

What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the ... eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist. Seth Godin
Seth Godin quote: "Art changes posture and posture changes innocent bystanders."
Art changes posture and posture changes innocent bystanders. Seth Godin
...treasure what it means to do a day's work. It's our one and only chance to do something productive today, and it's certainly not available to someone merely because he is the high bidder. A day's work is your chance to do art, to create a gift, to do something that matters. As your work gets better and your art becomes more important, competition for your gifts will increase and you'll discover that you can be choosier about whom you give them to. Seth Godin
You cannot create a piece of art merely for money. Doing it as part of commerce so denudes art of wonder that it ceases to be art. Seth Godin
Seth Godin quote: "The combination of passion and art is what makes someone a..."

Seth Godin quote: "You get to keep making art as long as you are willing to make..."
You get to keep making art as long as you are willing to make the choices that let you make your art. Seth Godin
