MMMM: Talent, power of books, do it for love and a cracking stream
Things to make you go MMMM on Thursday
by Darien J
"To inspire and encourage electronic artists to Make, Manage and Market Music every day."
Three thoughts for your music and one on mine.
3 for you:
Although I’m not convinced innate talent actually exists, I do believe we all have strengths and weaknesses and focusing on your strengths will always lead to improvement.
"A talent grows by being used, and withers if it is not used. Closing the gap between expectation and reality can be painful, but it has to be done sooner or later. The fact is that millions of young people would like to write, but what they dream of is the published book, often skipping over the months and years of very hard work necessary to achieve that end..." - May Sarton
I’ve always loved reading and had my head buried in a book from a young age.
Unfortunately like most people I gave it up when forced to do it in school.
I’m so glad I rediscovered my love for books in good time to learn so much from the lives of others.
"I have a friend who makes high six figures as an engineer. I once asked him his secret and he was like, “Honestly man, I just read one engineering textbook every year, which is one more book than everyone else I know reads." - Charlie Becker
You really need to do it for the love.
“If you do it for the money, God walks out of the room.” - Quincy Jones
