So to sum up: "It's not just inspiration, it's followthrough which makes all the difference." And it's not just a little followthrough, but you have to continually renew your enthusiasm and continue to improve even beyond your original vision.

That's if you want success, but for some of us sometimes, I think that scratching the itch is enough. If someone wants something better, they can do better.

The metaphor is inapt. Inspiration is not scratching an itch, it's having an itch.
