Advice from George Bernard Shaw

A playwrite asked his hero, George Bernard Shaw, if he should continue with the profession of playwriting. “Go on writing plays, my boy”, Shaw encouraged. “One of these days one of these London producers will go into his office and say to his secretary, ‘Is there a play from Shaw this morning?’ and when she says, ‘No’, he will say, ‘Well, then we’ll have a start on the rubbish.’ And that’s your chance, my boy.”
