Make Good Art

I love Neil Gaiman's commencement speech at the University of the Arts, not least of which because of his advice to those embarking on freelance careers:

1. Do good work
2. Be pleasant to deal with
3. Deliver your work on time

And then he followed that up with the revelation that you really only have to do any two of the three in order to succeed.

It's a great 20-minute speech that I encourage everyone to listen to.
