WHAT I CAN DO
There is an old joke about a man who was asked if he could play a violin and answered, “I don’t know. I’ve never tried.” This is psychologically a very wise reply. Those who have never tried to play a violin really do not know whether they can or not. Those who say too early in life and too firmly, “No, I’m not at all musical,” shut themselves off prematurely from whole areas of life that might have proved rewarding. In each of us there are unknown possibilities, undiscovered potentialities — one big advantage of having an open self-concept rather than a rigid one is that we shall continue to expose ourselves to new experiences, and therefore we shall continue to discover more and more about ourselves as we grow older. — Dicky Love
