Practice, Practice, Practice!
How did the piano player get to Carnegie Hall?
Practice!
Practice is something that we cannot get away from. Yes, it would be wonderful if we could sit down at our machines and automatically create the most beautiful, perfect pieces of work we have ever seen. Wouldn’t it be great for the creative ideas to just spill [...]

Peacocks!!
