Socrates said centuries ago that the unexamined life is not worth living. Still self examination and introspection remain among the rarest of qualities. Most people define themselves by their locations, occupations, sexuality, or personal preferences. Other than that they move toward nebulous goals. You could think of this as, āIām a Texas RE Broker who is married with a family. I love the Dallas Cowboys. My goal is to sell more homes than I ever did before.ā This is completely different from, āI am an intelligent, extroverted person who is friendly and charming so I plan to use these qualities to build a client base which will provide me with a continuing stream of referrals.ā This is systematic. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that using a system is more effective than simply setting a goal. If you know who you really are, it is much easier to establish a system to get what you want. Psychologists say that personality is made up of five traits: Extroversion, or how sociable you are Conscientiousness, or how self-disciplined and organized you are Agreeableness, or how warm and empathetic you are Openness, or how receptive you are to new ideas and activities Neuroticism, or how depressed or anxious you are. People tend to be happier and healthier when they score higher on the first four traits and lower on neuroticism. Most people fall somewhere in between. ā¢ For the first I love audiences but am happiest at home with my family. 8 ā¢ For the second I focus like a missile and refer to myself as the family comptroller. I do one thing at a time extremely well, I do not multi-task. 10 ā¢ For the third although I am opinionated and somewhat elitist I have deep empathy for people and love to help others. 8 ā¢ For the fourth I love change and to watch it happen but am not an early adapter as I tend to lean traditional in many ways. 7 ā¢ For the fifth self doubt is an unknown concept. My biggest fear is that too many people may not have yet heard of my work.* 1 * Stephen Foster was a mediocre songwriter but is remembered today as he shoved a copy of his sheet music into the hands of everyone he met. Where would you fall and how can you take advantage of these traits?

I know nothing about composing, but plan on learning lessons on youtube. I am very serious and am willing to put in the effort of many years to become a professional composer. But recognition for my music is my only reason for pursuing composing. All my effort would just be wasted if I can't get my awesome music recognized and featured on youtube, soundcloud, etc. I have a heart condition that could kill me before I get the chance to attain my goal. If I can't attain my goal, then I would not even bother with composing at all. So should I even bother with composing then if this is my only reason for doing it? I don't think it is an idiotic attitude at all. It's no different than how a body builder wishes to attain the goal of being in the magnificent muscular body of his dreams. Otherwise, if he had some sort of condition that somehow prevented him from building muscle, then he would not even bother body building. He would not even bother lifting weights just to lift them and the whole process of lifting weights would now be meaningless to him since he cannot achieve the goal he wanted. Some people would lift those weights anyway. But I know that I wouldn't. So in that same sense, I would not compose just to compose. My reason for composing is to attain that goal of having my music featured and recognized on youtube, soundcloud, etc. You can pay to have your music and videos promoted. Lastly, I have created awesome and strange unique music in my mind that I don't want to go to waste. But the only way for that music to get recognized would be to become a professional composer because that is the only way I can reproduce the music just as I hear it in my mind. I plan on then getting that music promoted on youtube where it can get recognized by many viewers. I do not plan on just getting recognized. It is the music I hear in my mind that I want recognized.

Growing up in switzerland was hard, showing up to school feeling like a retard, not only because i kept failing my report card, but because i never felt accepted on the schoolyard. Imagine beint sarrounded by people you want to talk with, but they treat you like filth and keep on spreading a myth, that you can't understand, because you're fron kangarooland. i tried my best, to learn german for the test, kept on making progress until i controlled it fully, that was when i had to deal with my bully. He was the stereotypical dibshit, the billy madison misfit, it was almost like in a movie skit. He made me feel like i belong in a pit, always called me skinny Pomfret. My dad introduced me to the boxing district, made me get fit, for this hit. Heres a hint, after that all the myths were extinct and he couldn't eat any mint, because his tooth had a dent. Then everything was cool for a while, untill we had to choose a work trial, in an envirment where we feel no denile. Already by the age of two, i knew, what proffesion i was going to do. So there was no time to loose over what proffesion i was going to choose. By the end of the semester, i wanted to be a hairdresser. I achieved, the vision i pecieved. Even a year earlier than my class mates, that gave me all these hates, for opening the gates in my life, that apparently make me end up without a wife. They kept on calling me gay, i wonder what they would say, if they knew, i see more girls a day, than they see from july until may.
