COMM 299: Greatest Lesson I’ve learned from someone else
The greatest lesson I’ve learned from someone else…hmm.
That’s a really good question. Because life’s got a lot of great lessons to teach.
But I suppose out of the top of my head, one of the best lessons I’ve learned thus far was from my piano teacher before a 200-300 person concert.
That lesson was: “No matter what happens, keep playing.”
And while that seems like something only applicable to instrumentalists, that’s not the case necessarily. Because when you’re stuck in a rut in an impeccably important situation – like an exam, an interview, or maybe preparing a surprise presentation in class – that quote really helps.
Because it basically means: “Regardless of how tough or whatever the situation happens to throw at you – go on with the show.” And I always attempt to keep that line in my head, under even the most intensive and pressuring moments in life.
