Practice

It used to be I'm very concern with so called talent. But John Maxwell book titled "Talent is never enough" confirms my new idea. I always thought that talent isn't everything, what matters the most is what you called "passion". Talented people won't succeeds if they don't have passion, why? because passion gives power to people to keep practicing and training. In his book, Maxwell described that he never find any people with passion lost energy to keep going forward. It really rebuked me, since high school time I always really on this so called talent. I really excel in classic physics not because I have passion for it but because I understand it easily. That's what drives me to become Mechanical engineering major and it really helps. Nowadays, I find that it was wrong. My Design class really open my eyes and start to build my passion for that. If before I always skip boring class or a class that I've understood the materials, that's totally wrong and I regret it. Well past is past, I can never changed that but thanks God for reminding me this thing. Talent won't bring you far away but passion does. One interesting conversation with Ko Bun2 yesterday is when I asked him to teach my to play guitar. He asked what do I have and I showed him, he only give me one advise, train more. I already have the basic and he share a story for me. The writer of the song "Open the eyes of my heart Lord" always go to the cafe when he can't play guitar. Everyday he just look at the person who play guitar in the cafe and feel amazed and more amazed. One day, he ask the play who play guitar in the cafe "What's the different between you and me ? how can you play guitar very well ?" The guy who play the guitar in the cafe only give short answer. "The difference is 500 hours of practice." This sharing really blessed me and encouraged me to keep going forward and train more. The big difference between us and succeed people is experience and practices.

GBU always
