Just ask yourself this question peeps; would you see value in lets say a lump of stone very roughly carved in 4 hours, or would you see value in say a church gargoyle which a craftsman spent weeks or even months carving? Do you value many painting made in 4 hours or do you marvell at master works that took masses of sweat and effort to create? The easy bit is that first 2 hours 'fun' bit when it's all creation, but thats only the start of the story of making art.

I watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" and he is a certifiable sushi master. He's 85 years old and he's been making sushi for 75 years...pretty extreme. He goes through extremely lengths to ensure his sushi is the best tasting and the experience of the customer is excellent. He says none of his techniques are secret, he just does every step extremely well. The octopus is massaged for 40-50 minutes to get the softness right and so the flavor of the octopus can come out. Every little detail is scrutinized and then rechecked.
