GUEST,Celtic Soul What We've Learned from the Masters? (28) RE: What We've Learned from the Masters? 13 Jul 01


I learned not to take myself seriously. If you screw up, screw up BIG, and enjoy your own imperfections.

Conversely, I learned that accepting others screw ups (no matter *how* much better you think you are than they) makes for a much nicer world (musical and otherwise).

I learned that I have a *looooooong* way to go, and that there is *no* such thing as "getting there". That it is all about the journey.

I learned that, if it is not fun, don't do it.

I learned that, even when it stops being fun, you'll still want it.

I learned that there is no one way to do a thing, but there are some wrong ways.

I learned that humility before the fact makes it a lot easier after the fact to deal with messing up.

I learned that "professionalism", "good musician", and "nice person" are not synonymous, and if you *ever* meet up with someone who has all the above, you better darned well pay attention.
