Yeah, but there has to be a balance between self-criticism and self-acceptance. Some people I know have such high expectations that they throw away everything they start and nobody ever hears a note from them. This also hurts people who try to learn instruments as adults. A lot of them give up long before they get to the point of doing anything they'd feel confident enough to share with others. We could debate whether the world at large is missing out on anything from those who give up, but often I think they'd be happier in their own lives if they persevered. Music is not just a product, it's a process that has inherent value to the musician. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
