This generation is really low on inspiration. When I say inspiration I don't necessarily mean motivation to get money or to be "Successful", what I mean is as an artist I am inspired to create, to take images no one has done before, to see something from a perspective no one has ever thought of. Photographers aren't driven by cash or the almighty dollar. As an artist I'm driven by the inspiration to create something beautiful.
In my natural life I'm inspired to lead. I don't mean to be a leader in terms of direct this or own that. I mean I'm inspired to do something great in tennis, the art world, and just life in general, because I want to lead the next generation into finding a destiny that they will love. I mean by love as in something that they will do their career without the added pressure of how much you get paid for it. I think of it as this, if you wake up in the morning and are excited and find peace in what you do then your ahead of the game, and are inspired to do what you do to live. People say I work to live, not live to work. I think of it like this I Love my work, and hate to work to live. Find your passion and be inspired to love what you do.
agreed, sometimes i think about the fact that they are being taught (in most cases) that their's no real purpose... in the words of satan comes to mind =)
