As someone who's been working in the entertainment industry for 10+ years, number two has been a very important lesson for me. Often times in creative industries it feels natural to tie your own personality to the work you're producing on the job. In reality, I'm a professional who's hired to do a job and I've come to view the work as simply renting out a small, temporary sliver of my creative juice. The end product is not who I am, nor does it define me. I'm prepared to do the work well, but when the job is done I go home and the space is no longer for rent.
great post dude, especially enjoyed 5+6. looking forward to the next one
