The Disciplined Slacker ｜分享一组美国艺术家Mateo Dineen的作品

My teacher also once said to the 25 of us in his class “Statistically only three or four of you will ever go on to make a living as an artist.” I found that hard to believe, but then he continued, “You know what the difference between failure and success [in the arts] is? It’s not the most talented who will succeed, but the ones who want it the most. It’s the ones who go the extra mile, the ones that hustle and push that will make it.” I hate to admit it, but his dismissive attitude toward us had a lasting effect on me.

小时候看过纳西索斯迷恋自己湖水中的倒影，最后溺水而死化为水仙的故事。水仙的英文名也是narcissus。但没想到后面还有湖的故事：
The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said: “I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.”
湖说：我为纳西索斯哭泣，但我从未注意到他的俊美。我哭泣是因为，每次他跪在我岸边，我能在他眼睛深处看到我自己美丽的倒影（我能在他眼睛深处看到自己被映射的美）。
