Principles for Success
This is the story of Robby.
He was a young boy who lived with his elderly
Mother. His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because she
Longed to hear her son play for her. She sent her son to a piano teacher who
Took Robby in under her guidance .
However, there was one small problem
Because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in
Learning.
The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of his
Weakness. The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send
Robby to the teacher.
One day Robby stopped attending the piano lessons. The teacher thought that
He had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give
Much hope to Robby. Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to
Organize a piano concert in town. She sent out circulars to invite the
Students and public to attend the event.
Suddenly, she received a call from
Robby who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told Robby that
He was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had
Stopped coming for lessons.
Robby begged her to give him a chance and
Promised that he would not let her down.
Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he will
Change his mind at the last minute. When the big day came, the hall was
Packed and the children gave their best performance. Finally,
It was Robby's
Turn to play and as his name was announced, he walked in. He was not in
Proper attire and his hair was not properly groomed.
The teacher was really
Nervous since Robby's performance could spoil the whole evening's brilliant
Performance.
As Robby started playing the crowd became silent and was amazed
At the skill of this little boy. In fact, he gave the best performance of
The evening. At the end of his presentation the crowd and the piano teacher
Gave him a standing ovation. The crowd asked Robby how he managed to play so
Brilliantly.
With a microphone in front of him, he said, "I was not able to
Attend the weekly piano lessons as there was no one to send me because my
Mother was sick with cancer. She just passed away this morning and I wanted
Her to hear me play. You see, this is the first time she is able to hear me
Play because when she was alive she was deaf and now I know she is listening
To me. I have to play my best for her!"

Passion and a reason to do something, you will surely excel. You may not be
Talented or gifted but if you have a strong enough reason to do something,
You will be able to tap into your inner God given potential.
