What do the late Philip Roth, one of the greatest writers of our time, and Steph Curry, one of the greatest basketball players of our time, have in common?

Philip Roth was once asked by Robert Siegel, an NPR host, how he was able to write so many award-winning novels.  Roth answered that there is no secret.  Rather, he works all day, every day, six or seven days a week.  He offered that many times he will look at what he has written,  in a ten-hour day, and he does not like anything he wrote, he throws it all away.  Robert Siegel asks him: how do you feel on a day where you end up throwing away everything you wrote, and his answer is: “You wouldn’t want to have dinner with me.”  But the next morning he is at it again.
