(gargoyle's words)

Anxiety is a postive force....it helps produce exceptional performance.....

But to perform "FOR the audience" is WRONG.....you are a WHORE....

However, if you do NOT give your best, of your Best, of your BEST in a performance, (and are satisfied to settle for it) .....

..............You are less than a whore...you are a "pan-handler" offering little less than a "thank you" to a benevolent audience.

Set YOUR standards beyound YOUR reach....and then you NEVER have to WORRY about "acceptance" because you are performing at YOUR potential.
