Take Action In Life
I've addressed the fact that everyone has the potential for greatness, musical and otherwise, in them. However, this is meaningless without taking action. It is essentially up to you to take the potential and turn it into reality. I personally believe that the main reason people don't always take action is that they fear failure. Failure, however, is not something to fear. It is probably the best teacher you will ever have in life. When I practice piano, it is failure that shows me where to put my best efforts in. I play songs over and over and over, failing most times. Then, after a long period of failure, I reach my goal. But if I never even tried, thinking that I could fail, I'd never achieve anything. Therefore, you have to take action in life. Then, all the doors open for you.

As a trumpet player for 40 years I find you comment, ...it is failure that shows me where to put my best efforts in..." very interesting. It's those difficult passages that keep me going. I know that I'll never play them perfectly but, each time I try, I learn something new.
