- Legend has it that Pablo Picasso (a Spanish artist) was once sitting in a cafe, carelessly drawing something on a napkin.
- A woman sitting nearby was watching him in awe.
- A few minutes later, when Picasso was done with his coffee and was leaving, he crumbled the napkin to throw it away.
- The woman stopped him and said, “Can I have that napkin you were just drawing on? I will pay you for it.”
- “Sure,” Picasso replied, “It will be $20,000.”
- “What? It took you less than 2 minutes to draw it,” the woman reasoned.
- “No ma’am, you are wrong,” Picasso replied. “It took me 40 years.”
- He stuffed the napkin in his pocket and walked out of the cafe.
