Vidur (my 6yr old) has been learning the piano for a year now.
And he is really good at it.
He can read and write notes
And usually understands new notes faster than anyone in class
And then plays it by memory
Has also started creating his own music.
Which doesn't have much sense, but sounds peaceful when I hear it
There is one thing he hates though
Practice
And that worries the shit out of me!
Two words can predict someone's professional outcome accurately
Talent
Hard work
Think of a 2×2 matrix – talented (yes or no) on one axis and hardworking (yes or no) on the other
The worst is of course no talent and not hardworking
But the one after that is talented but not hardworking
Because the hardworking but not talented guy will any day beat the shit out of the talented guy
Hard working people know how to convert their hard work into talent
Talented people are poor. They only have their talent!
