RE: "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson - Book Review & Chance to Win

Motivation has never been a thing I worried about, but I hear it a lot. People think that they shall look for motivation before they start. But the only thing that really motivates is solving the problems at hand. That is why children learn so fast, computers for example. If you can trial and error, you will learn, if you have to see thing in perspective first you will never move one inch, because perspective comes after.

As the two cartoonists I met at this venue said: If you want to learn to make a comic, you have to make one.

If you want to know how to do something, just start doing it. Which is exactly what those cartoonists told you:
