A short YouTube video (uploaded by Clegg) that conveys an anecdote about Pablo Picasso and a fan in a market: the fan asks Picasso to draw a quick sketch, is surprised by the price, and Picasso replies that the 30-second sketch reflects 30 years of experience. The piece illustrates the value of long-term practice, experience, and the hidden effort behind seemingly quick accomplishments in art, leadership, productivity, and business.

Mr. Picasso, can you do a little piece of art for me? Can you do a little drawing?
He said, absolutely. Did a beautiful drawing. She looked at it. She said, oh, Mr. Picasso, fantastic.
She starts walking away. He goes, ah, my dear lady, that'll be a million dollars. She said, Mr. Picass, a million dollars? It took you 30 seconds to do that?
