Let Recognition Come Later
"I think there are two types of students. There are the ones who are starting to question this and then there's another kind who are more interested in success and Instagram. I'm not blaming them, they come from a generation that has been bombarded by this concept, but they're more interested in getting recognised than making good work. That's kind of a problem for me. Now you can get recognised in two seconds, but you should focus on doing a good job, and then the people will come to you.
