I really, really like this quote:
"The most powerful drive in the ascent of man is his pleasure in his own skill. He loves to do waht he does well, and having done it well, he loves to do it better. You see it in his science. You see it in the magnificence with which he carves and builds, the loving care, the gaiety, the effrontery. The monuments are supposed to commemorate kings and religions, heroes, dogmas, but in the end the man they commemorate is the builder."
-Jacob Bronowski
By the way, apparently Coldplay's song, "Lost!" has a version where Jay-Z raps on it. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty awesome.

i like the quote. it's also easy to see in musicians... the drive and pleasure from getting better at playing your instrument...
