"We got better and got more confidence. We couldn't help it with all the experience playing all night long. It was handy them being foreign. We had to try even harder, put our heart and soul into it, to get ourselves over. In Liverpool, we'd only ever done one-hour sessions, and we just used to do our best numbers, the same ones, at every one. In Hamburg, we had to play for eight hours, so we really had to find a new way of playing." - John Lennon
Since millions of Americans work eight hour days (and then some) on a regular basis, I'll bet it takes more than mere time to create greatness. It's that passion - that heart and soul as Lennon put it - that pushes the practitioners to new heights. Greatness waiting for us is tied to our natural passion... the type of thing we can do for hours without realizing it, and without much if any flagging of our creativity and enthusiasm.
