But to be creative you need to do lots of hard work. For example being able to do a creative task like playing or creating a new song on an instrument requires practicing many hours on with different chords and positions to get good at the instrument.
- AstralStorm 7y agoChallenging, again, not hard. You have not tasted hard work until you have peeled 100 kg of potatoes. Or carried equivalent heavy load. Repetition is necessary to a point, but that does not make the work hard by any means, especially if you enjoy it. Practice is not the same as hard work either.
- EForEndeavour 7y agoIsn't that just splicing the definition of "hard" in "hard work"? Is peeling 100 kg of potatoes actually "harder" than actively practicing an instrument for an equivalent period of time? I'd argue that practice is harder, because (done right) it's extremely mentally taxing, as well as physically demanding, depending on the instrument. I agree with your main point that the same task will be considered hard by someone who hates it, and easy by someone who loves it.
