When Pablo Picasso was a young struggling artist, he was several months behind in the rent.

The landlord came by and told him that if he didn’t come up with the money he would be evicted on Tuesday.

Picasso exclaimed, “Before you kick me out, just think, years from now people will look at this building and say the great Picasso lived there.”

The landlord looked at him blankly and said, “And if you don’t come up with the money they can start doing it Tuesday.”
