Authentic Text (insert reading text here or link to the listening recording)
“How to Stay Motivated
I recently finished Steve Martin's wonderful autobiography, Born Standing Up.
Martin’s story offers a fascinating perspective on what it takes to stick with habits for the long run. Comedy is not for the timid. It is hard to
imagine a situation that would strike fear into the hearts of more people than performing alone on stage and failing to get a single laugh. And yet
Steve Martin faced this fear every week for eighteen years. In his words, “10 years spent learning, 4 years spent refining, and 4 years as a wild
success.”
