Why be Famous?

Neat post I found at Notes on Becoming a Famous Architect. Giving a reason for all the long hours and hard work. A couple of my favourites from the list:

• The most talented people will want to come and work for you and what’s more they are willing to do it for free or very little. Even more, they will work much, much, harder for you than they would at an average office. I think Frank Lloyd Wright once had the children of his rich clients actually pay him money to work for him. Now that's what I call "Big Pimpin"
• You get credit for things that lesser known architects have already invented long before you stole...ahem, I mean borrowed it from them.
