This is a great little video that is powerful and honest in it's message. The more you do, the better you will get. It's about volume at this point in your academic life. You learn by doing and not by procrastinating. Doing one concept for a project is lazy. Doing numerous concepts for a project is being responsible and demonstrates your passion. Passion will be there even when you're tired and out of ideas (you might think.) Doing something you love is never work. Love what you do and it will love you back unconditionally. Everything you do is for yourself and no one else. The more excuses you give to yourself the farther down the ladder you fall. It's a numbers game. More is more and more is better in terms of research, preparation, production and ultimately the final piece. Give yourself a grade everyday with regards to how engaged you are in your work. This will change your direction and your focus. A grade that a teacher gives you is subjective since the teacher doesn't always know all the work that went behind your final design. Only you know that and that makes your own "grade" that you give to yourself more critical and more honest.
