    NOT again-Better!

    Have we ask our self why this week practices we sounded better?..let me tell you..it is because you are showing more interest and concern to do well than to embarrass yourself after SYF...you know that....
    making a point to show positive attitude is the most proactive way to inspire yourself and your friends around you and the conductor..also when we become more engage in the thing we do ..we will do better...

    lets remember this lesson we learn...

    One story i remember...many year ago,i was told about a dress rehearsal of the legendary Toscanini conducting the NBC symphony orchestra.After many hours of intense work( and with Toscanini that is probably an understatement!), he was about to run through a compostition they had played many times before.Just before they began,he looked at the orchestra and firmly said,"Not again-better."

    here is one of the greatest conductors of all time rehearsing one of the most remarkable orchestra ever assembled, and he felt the need to remind even them that everytime they played something it had to be better than the time before.If that great conductor had to remind those amazing performers of this simple goal, we could not be served better than never to forget its power.We ensure continuous improvement when we never settle for again, but always seek for better.

    I hope next practices will be better and not again...:>
    keep this attitude and we will do well...

    jia you
