There was another video like this circulating around a couple years ago and my only reaction was a well earned, "Wow!" Now I see another person's hands dashing across the screen, leaving behind a trail of fleeing Polish women, and I realize that intuition alone could not have guided her through her story. Those movements were gained through practice. Talent like that doesn't happen accidentally. People earn it by forcing themselves to keep endlessly improving.

This is the reason I have consistently found myself achieving nothing but mediocrity. If something didn't come easily, I dismissed it as an act of futility and gave up. I've known this is a problem for a while now, and I have been trying to correct my past transgressions of laziness through my photographic efforts, which have tapered off after graduation. However, the new Kodak film grant calls my name (well, I pine for it at least).
