Don't you remember playing games as a kid, like Capture the Flag, Simon Says or Follow the Leader? These games as kids actually started putting each of us on the path toward how well we could do things in the future. Things that we learn early on, help us as we navigate our direction down the road.
When on are on a job, you need to pull out all of these learned items and put them to good use. You must be able to work well with others, show teamwork and patience, navigate differences of opinion, understand the assets and capabilities of people around you, collaborate on ideas and perspectives...........whether it's for business, sports, production and basically, life.
Today, I'm sitting, working on the computer on a production (kind of like study hall), with client, agency and production all lined up working, and our week, so far...........has entailed all of these areas of expertise. Ironic that along the way - all of our skills have been mustered from experience and some people get it, while others are still learning and working on that craft. It's simply the way it is. Fortunately, like follow the leader - we get to learn from each other and store that information away and pull it out sooner or later.
A little bit of knowledge is taken away after each shoot, each job, each experience. It makes us better and hopefully it improves who we are, as we continue on the path of life.
