How many of us do all of that??? (Please excuse the use of female gender, but you know what I mean.) As an artist, I can tell you many people CANNOT be an artist at any level, as an example. I cannot understand or play even the simplist music, even tho I come from a very musical family, professionals! composers! Sigh,. I have had some art studenst for 25 years, and they have a good tme, but they never advance, and they will never be good. I am a good teacher. I could not be a ballet dancer, a doctor , or a writer. We cannot do it all. When one comes along (human) that can do it all, they are called "genius" or "Renaissance" or "Unbelievable". That is how rare it is to be wonderful at more than one thing. Being an artist is enough for me, I cannot stand on my toes! <g> Syd SYD MAILBERG 425-432-4144 23910 SE 276TH ST MAPLE VALLEY, WA 98038 Updated Website Fabio/Viggo _http://www.kingswoodgermanshepherds.homestead.com_ (http://kingswoodgermanshepherds.homestead.com/) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
