This Advice By Ira Glass Will Inspire You To Pursue Your Creative Career

1. Think you’re not good enough? Watch this.

The words are from This American Life presenter Ira Glass, adapted from an interview he did with Public Radio International.

2. The video was made by photographer Daniel Sax. He explains why he did it underneath his Vimeo post.

“I think it was at springtime 2012, when I came across David Shiyang Lius lovely piece of work about Ira Glass. It was the most inspiring and motivating video, I have ever seen in my life. I watched it over and over again, listened to Ira Glass’ voice and told myself, that I am not the only person who is constantly disappointed about the gap between ones taste and ones skills. Later on in 2012 I decided to do an own filmed version of Iras interview – use my own language to tell his message. It took me about a year from concept to upload.

I made it for myself and for anybody who is in doubt with his/her creative career. I also think that Ira Glass’ message isn’t only limited to the creative industry. It can be applied to everyone who starts out in a new environment and is willing to improve.”

3. Ira’s words are convincing – he makes the point that a lot of people who have a creative career find that their work isn’t good and then quit.

4. And that what matters is persistence over a number of years to develop the right skills.

5. <3 you Ira Glass.
