Words of Wisdom
Always the most difficult part of the race, is the last
step.
The weeks telescoped into one long frantic blur of
days and events that ended suddenly, abruptly.
Never practice on the day of a performance.
Exams are a technical hurdle only. A chronological
hurdle; a ticking of the clock. A sign that time is
passing.
Can you escape the past?
Live in the now – enjoy!
Is youth wasted on the young?
Who will we miss when they are gone?
What is Goldsworthy trying to tell us
through his novel?
Can you ever live up to the expectations of others?
What is it to live?
Should we live with regret?
Can we ever really be honest with ourselves?
Can we ever be at peace with our past?
Is it ok to fail?

“What is the difference between good and
great pianists?
Not much.
Just a little.”
“We must know when to move on.
To search to long for perfection can
