如果旋律是灵魂， 词就是躯体。
去铸造躯体是个磨人的过程。是辛苦的快乐着。
一个躯体的价值最终是要给灵魂一个适合他它的位置。
让它用全新的生命去挥洒它的一切，去用生命替别人说话。
所以词赋予躯体也给予生命。
所以要当一个铸体人。并不简单。

Today
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we Love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
by Jalaluddin Rumi

Music and passion
I think something truly amazing happens when you listen to music.
Like many, I am guilty of zoning out when listening to classical music but when you understand what the music is trying to convey, the piece takes on a whole new meaning. This probably explains why a piece which you might not have liked at first becomes one of your favourite piece the more you practice. You simply understood more of it.
If there is something I've learnt of life it is this - that we are afraid of that which we do not understand.
Ok with the preamble over,enjoy the 20 min talk! It is worth every single minute,I assure you.

i hope i do ok, but this class is SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than i imagined it to be.
i have homework...n i haven started. psst.
but i like what my sensei said..you do something because it is difficult not because it is easy. well, everything i do is not easy (lack of talents n brains)so i'll just stick to this
Regards.

Everybody knows
It is a weird thing to have your friend ask you to play something on the violin, smirk while you are playing and then tell you it doesn't sound very nice, all in a very condescending tone, as if one instrument could be superior to another.
What your friend doesn't know is that that very violin you are holding got you through the tougher times of your life, that the sound he is hearing is the result of about a year of practice and that maybe, sounding nice on the violin isn't as easy as the professionals make it out to be.
It may even be that his remark even hurt a little.
But it's perfectly alright because not everybody knows. And admittedly, your playing isn't very good yet.
