Practice

Today's entry is short and to the point ...

A couple of quotes which I hope you will find helpful and thought-provoking:

"It's not practice that makes perfect, but the right kind of practice that makes perfect"

"The difference between an amateur and a professional is, an amateur practices until they get it right, a professional practices until they can't get it wrong"

Happy New Year

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives ... so goes the saying.

A new year with new potential and new opportunities. Some will come our way; some we'll have to go out and find; some will be expected and others will be out of the blue.

In whatever shape today finds you, remember that 2008 is a year in which we can all make a difference in some way.

• Perhaps it's learning something new ...
• Perhaps it's being able to play something we've never been able to play before ...
• Perhaps it's just picking up a pair of sticks and making our very first sound from a drum ...

Whichever way we make a difference ... whether to our own life, or to the lives of others ... let's try to make sure that 2008 is a year we can look back on and say, "Something special happened that year!"
