When
Polish pianist Ignace Jan Paderewsky played before Queen Victoria, he
won her enthusiastic approval. “Mr. Paderewsky,” she exclaimed, “you are
a genius.” Paderewsky shook his head. “Perhaps, Your Majesty, but
before that I was a drudge.” Alluding to the years he had spent practicing and the number of hours he continued to spend practicing every day.
The
writer Coleridge is the supreme example of a genius who wasted his
writing talent by having a mind filled with all kind of books he never
transcribed.
He
was one of my favorite writers in college and as I read what little he
did actually put to paper I would almost weep at his wasted life.
Discipline without some sacrifice is not discipline. It’s a student studying when he had rather be enjoying the companionship of his fellow classmates. It’s parents attending a PTA meeting when they’d rather be watching a movie. It’s walking a mile or two when you’d rather sleep an extra hour.
When
I was first beginning to learn how to play the piano, I practiced
scales, which basically is fingers running up and down the keys to
promote dexterity. And though I never liked them, I kept on practicing scales all the years I seriously played piano. It
wasn’t as much fun as playing boogie woogie or some of my favorite
classical pieces of music, but the discipline made me a far better
player.
Just remember that “the pain of discipline will cost you pennies, whereas the pain of regret will cost you millions.”
