Music is a Gift From God



Today I went to a children's piano recital. It was wonderful. 


As I sat there and watched dozens of kids play their hearts out for their mothers, father and grandparents, I almost wept. I feel sorry for the many fathers who couldn't make it to see their children's performances. They were fantastic.


Whenever I hear this sort of music performed by skilled children, I think these things:


*Music is truly a gift from god.
*My purpose in life is not to make money but to make my family happy
*I'm going to die someday and I want to enjoy these times as much as I can while I can.
*Too many fathers are missing out on what is really important in life

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
