"Mozart did not write a single piece of music that became a resounding success and retire a wealthy man. Mozart wrote hundreds of pieces of music and many of them were masterpieces that made him famous but most of them were regular pieces of music that were forgettable and forgotten by history. Shakespeare did not write Macbeth as a stand-alone piece of genius. He wrote it alongside some of the worst plays that he had ever written. The point here is that these geniuses did more than most. They wrote more than most. They practised more than most. They published more than most and in so doing they refined their craft. They shut up and did things. They lived action words like did, wrote, practised, published and built. They did not think about building, doing, writing, they did them."
