ABSTRACT
“The number-one thing I wish someone had instilled in me when I was starting out is to be patient. This can be a brutal business under any circumstances, but if you become bitter that you’re not ‘making it,’ sneering at the people who get ‘your’ opportunities, cultivating a sense of entitlement—forget it. You’ll waste energy and not get any closer to your goals. No matter what kind of genius you think you are, chances are you won’t be discovered overnight. But, believe it or not, that’s a good thing. Every day you go undiscovered is a day you can spend getting better at what you do—so when you finally ‘are’ discovered, you’ll be that much more ready.” — Emmy Award-winner and Peabody Award-winner Eric Drysdale, writer, The Daily Show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and The Colbert Report
