Being Human

I just read this quote. It specifically related to a person's thoughts on the transparent inadequacy Hollywood deals with often. However, Ryan's response digs deeper. It's pretty simple actually.

"At the root of what you're describing isn't a movie making problem, it is a human problem.

Why do people become lawyers who troll for settlements for disability violations? Or construction foremen who build things that fall apart? Or customer service reps that are rude? Or create derivative stores and restaurants?

The ratio of people who muddle along to those who do an extraordinary job with enthusiasm and pride and foresight anywhere is a very lopsided number. I'm not sure Hollywood's percentage is really an outlier. It just feels like it is." - Ryan Holiday
