Are you full of excuses?

Posted on 10 August 2008 See Comments | Post Comment

 

Can’t seem to focus on taking your playing to the next level?

After watching this video, we shouldn’t have any more excuses holding us back from improving our musical skills.

(I’m not saying the playing is perfect but this clip is certainly inspiring to us folks who have all our limbs to work with).

Quotes about excuses:

Don Wilder
Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.

Edward R. Murrow
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.

George Washington Carver
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

George Washington
It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

H. V. Adolt
We are all manufacturers. Making good, making trouble, or making excuses.

Gabriel Meurier
He who excuses himself accuses himself.

Henry Ward Beecher
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.

    WAO. Just amazing. A true excuse-breaking video.

  2. don says:

    i agree, none of us can have excuses after watching this guy.

  3. Alex Douglas says:

    Yeah, I’m busy going through this site….I’m with these guys. Sack the excuses. I was just thinking about my own failed attempts to play guitar - and the fact that I play other instruments well does not change the fact that the excuses I gave for my failed guitar playing were even more inadequate than I realised. The Meurier quote above is new to me, but a very savage indictment on all the forms of musical slackness that abound.

    I will remember this one for sure. Yes indeed.
