There's a famous story of Pablo Picasso.
He was enjoying a meal at a restaurant when a man interrupted him, handed him a napkin and asked:
“Could you sketch something for me? I’ll pay. Name your price.”
Picasso took the napkin, pulled a charcoal pencil from his pocket and started sketching. Using only a few strokes, he drew a goat that was unmistakably a Picasso. He held it up for the man to see.
The man smiled and reached to take the sketch. But Picasso withheld it.
“That will be $100,000.” Picasso said.
The man was astonished. “$100,000?! You drew that in 30 seconds!”
Picasso crumpled up the napkin and stuffed it in his pocket.
“You're wrong.” he said.
“It's taken me 40 years to do that.”
