    I teach fourth graders who are so insulted when I mention that their writing might need some more work. I'm going to show them this. Love it. Thanks.

    Oh yeah, I love this clip. I send this link to anyone in a funk about their creativity and, let's face it, everyone goes through it. Thanks for reminding me. It's such a cool way to put so many things into perspective.

    such good advice and very reassuring and motivating. I am off to find out more about Ira since I have obviously been in the dark.

    Who is Ira Glass? I'll have to research. Anyway, I think is is funny (not in a laughter sort of way, not even a giggling one, but more of an eerie and weird type of funny) that some messages come your way and smack you right in the face just at the right time. At first when it arrives you seem totally unprepared and the smack really jolts you, but as the imaginary red mark left on your face by the smack starts to disappear, you come to realise that you were actually prepared to hear and receive this message.
    Thanks, I had it coming to me.

  • ShareeCordes April 9, 2012 at 6:38 AM

    Oh me too. Love it. Off to set myself somedeadlines and do loads of creative stuff right now!

  • Cath Elizabeth April 9, 2012 at 12:35 AM

  • Christina April 8, 2012 at 11:14 PM

    What a great inspirational piece! I also LOVE Ira Glass! Thanks for sharing this! Sometimes it's so hard to work through "that" stage but it is worth it in the end!

  • cateoh April 8, 2012 at 7:17 PM

    me too!

  • Jacqui April 8, 2012 at 7:09 PM

    I don't actually know Ira Glass, but I like how he thinks! I also love the typography and animation in that clip, very cool!

  • anissa ljanta April 8, 2012 at 7:02 PM

    i love this, and i so needed to hear this right at this very moment. YES! (and thanks)

  • Melissa April 8, 2012 at 6:45 PM

    This is Superb!! And YES I Love Ira Glass – I Love the way he speaks, the way his sentences run on, the Emphasis he puts on some words – but most of all, What he says. Love This American Life…an amazing series of stories and the elements of out-there-quirkiness or tension that they often capture.

    It's Easter morning in berlin and it's not raining! I don't have any chocolate but I'm strangely ok with that. for now.
