THE AMATEUR IS EASILY DISTRACTED

The amateur has a long list of fears. Near the top are two:

Solitude and silence.

The amateur fears solitude and silence because she needs to avoid, at all costs, the voice inside her head that would point her toward her calling and her destiny. So she seeks distraction.

The amateur prizes shallowness and shuns depth. The culture of Twitter and Facebook is paradise for the amateur.

THE AMATEUR SEEKS INSTANT GRATIFICATION

There was a popular bumper sticker a few years ago: Too much ain’t enough.

Too much ain’t enough, and too soon is too late.

The amateur, the addict and the obsessive all want what they want now. The corollary is that, when they get it, it doesn’t work. The restlessness doesn’t abate, the pain doesn’t go away, the fear comes back as soon as the buzz wears off.
