Learn, refine, succeed
"...Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four were spent in wild success."
So if you start at the age of 10 or 11, you've got until your about 21 to learn. Then until you're about 25 to refine your skills. After about 15 years of preparation, you're at your peak until your about 30.
Can you guess the quote?
Thierry Gueorgiou? Marita Skogum? Peter Thoresen? Gunila Svard? Kari Salinen?
Nope. The quote is from the comedian, Steve Martin, from his new book Standing Up. He's talking about doing comedy.
