Department of Music students who entered the practice room. Up at the piano, a new music room.
“Super difficult … …” music turning him, to himself, feeling himself on the piano confidence fell to the bottom seems to Consumers wasted away. Has been three months! Since the new with the professor after teaching, I do not know why the professor to the whole person in this manner. Barely cheer. He began to use their own Ten struggle, struggle, struggle to cover the … … sound outside the classroom, Professor of footsteps approaching.
The guidance of a professor is a very famous music maestro. The first day of teaching, he gave his students a new music. “Give it a try!” He said. The difficulty of high scores, students playing jerky stagnation made many mistakes. “Not yet ripe, a good practice to go back!” Professor of the next class, so called students.
Students practice a week, the second week of class is prepared to allow Professor acceptance, a professor gave him did not expect a higher degree of difficulty scores, “Give it a try!” Last week’s class also did not mention Professor. Students once again struggling with a higher degree of difficulty of the skills challenge.
The third week. It more difficult for the music has emerged. Different from the situation continues, the students each have been in the classroom on a new music by the anxieties, and then put it back to practice, and then return to the classroom, re-faced with the difficulty of the music twice, but how to recover all not on the progress that did not practice last week and because there is a feeling very much at home, students are more and more unrest, frustration, and despair.

When the professor entered the practice room, students can not help it. Master raised him to the piano for three months, why continue to torture themselves to be questioned. Professor did not speak, he extracted the earliest music that, to the students. “Play it!” His firm looked at the students.
Incredible things happen, and even students themselves are very surprised that he actually can play this song so wonderful, so exquisite! Professor letting the students test the second class of music students are still showing a super-high standard of performance … … The End Recital, students looked at Teacher, speechless.
“If, let me show you the most good at the part, you may also practice it at the earliest music, there would be no such an extent that now … …” Piano Master said slowly.

People, often used to express themselves familiar areas of expertise. But if we are willing to back, in detail view, will be realized: the challenge appears to work in full swing, every day of the week or the difficulty of growing environmental pressures, will be unaware that they do not develop a sense of today’s capable? Since, people really have unlimited potential!
