people need to stop attaching themselves to what they do, this way its easier to both have fun just doing, no matter skill level or adherence. I've seen bizarre cases of very skilled people tearing themselves up just because whatever they do is not perfect in any given respect, be it technical or artful. They end up miserable.

I don't design. I could, but I know that the time I would spend designing would be twice the amount compared to a skilled designer. Instead I ask someone who loves design. collaborate with them to create something awesome. We bash and we chastise, but always realize that its about the work, not the person or his/her skill level.

This does not translate well to corporate, but for the better it really should.
