What does it take to go from a shy disabled one handed boy at school who had trouble tying his shoe laces to a world class violinist playing for audiences like the pope and Dalai lama?

Inspirational One handed disabled violinist plays for the Dalai Lama and the Pope. Adrian Anantawan was excluded in school, because he was different and not as capable as his other class mates. Things like tying his shoe laces or sharpening a pencil was challenging for him.

He was shy and didn’t talk much, but at age 9 his parents put a violin in his hand.  “Little did my parents know that they had invited a dying cat into their home for the first six months in the form of ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,’ “ said Anantawan

Now this young disabled violinist has performed in The White House, at the Winter Olympics, in front of The Pope, and more recently for the Dalai Lama. He is also an educator helping disabled children play music.

There is a powerful lesson here. We are rarely good at anything when we first start it, whether it be playing a musical instrument, a new sport, learning a language, or starting a new career or business. The first 6 months are generally shaky until we find our feet and our flow.

What if after 3 months, Anantawan’s parents had said,

“music just isn’t his thing, maybe we should try him in tennis”?

Or if the ‘boy wonder’ himself had quit prematurely? Then of course there would be no ‘boy wonder’! I believe that anyone has the potential to be great at something, at many things, but it takes daily consistent action to rise above mediocrity and achieve any level of greatness.

people will see a great musician on stage or read the works of a great writer and say,

“Oh isn’t she talented”

But what they haven’t seen is the thousands of hours of practice and training to get to this level. Whilst everyone else is watching TV, hanging out with friends and sleeping in on a Sunday, the talented person is practicing, beating on their craft, developing their talent.

There is nothing wrong with TV sleeping in or hanging out with friends, but it must be kept to a minimum if we are to achieve greatness in any area. I call it the 80/20 rule.

Masters spend 80% of their time achieving greatness and 20% of their time doing what everyone else is doing. Everybody else spends 20% of their time dabbling in what masters excel at thinking that they just don’t have a talent for it. the other 80% of their time is often caught up in what society has programmed them to do.

Just what has society programmed us to do anyway? We have been programmed to work in jobs that are unfulfilling. Seriously if you gave 100 people on the street an endless supply of money, how many would stay in their job. Most people only go to work because they believe they have to, not because they want to.

Walk around any neighbourhood at 8.30 in the evening and at least 80% of people are sat infront of the idiot box, weapon of mass deception, call it what you want. but TV is a life sucking device. Then these same people complain about how they don’t have enough time or money.

To rise above this mediocrity we must live by this 80/20 rule and do things differently to what everyone else is doing, and stop dabbling in every little thing that comes along. Make a decision to become a master and inspire the world. Get clear, get focused and get going!
