One little girl, heard the phrase 'a clean slate'. She wondered. So she asked her mother, how do you understand it? Her mother took a blank sheet of paper, paint and a brush... and said: "Look... let me give you an example. The girl is the blank sheet of paper. The boy is the artist. But there are all kinds of painters. An amateur will take a sheet of paper, start applying one colour, don't rinse the brush, take another. The colours will blend together, everything will be grey, not beautiful. He'll wrinkle the sheet and throw it away, then take another one. And so on several times. But there are real painters. They'll slowly take one colour and apply it to the sheet. They let it dry. They'll put another one on. The rainbow will be bright and lush. He likes it. He'll keep that pattern. But then again. One painter will buy a cheap album from the nearest shop. The other will look for a quality canvas, may wait a week, a month, may go to the other side for it. Don't rush to be a sheet, be an expensive canvas, don't let yourself be crumpled, flooded with grey paint, be a rainbow wait for the artist..."
