My car was a piece of junk. None of the instruments worked. I was very far from the nearest town where there would be a gas station. It was late at night. It was rainy and cold. I was young, long haired, and scruffy looking. It was far between cars. Nobody stopped. So I decided to walk. After about half an hour a car stopped. The guy had noticed the abandoned car and figured I might belong to it and in need of a ride. He drove me to an open gas station where I picked up a gas can. He even drove me back to my car. When I wanted to pay, when I insisted to pay him, he said "don't pay me, pay back by helping someone in a similar situation".Tore Claessonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978163002830730401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-78782925963624086472011-03-03T19:35:32.481-05:002011-03-03T19:35:32.481-05:00George,

Most people in the industry seem very willing to help as long as they are approached with respect. It's helped me enormously to just talk to people and have them critique my work.<br /><br />The constructive criticism you mention is the most important aspect of the whole process. Youngins need to seek it out and accept it if they want any chance in the biz. Hopefully your post inspires people to seek/give help. There's tons of jrs out there who need it. <br /><br />Thanks<br />JeffJeffhttp://jeffkwiatek.posterous.comnoreply@blogger.com
