I have a friend that actually laughs at "non professionals" that play in public.
He wouldn't walk across the street to see a local band play.
Too bad for him...!




and that's exactly how a lot of people talk themselves out of trying anything in life.

All accomplishment comes with some risk. Sometimes the risk is financial. Sometimes we risk criticism, or any one of a hundred other discomforts. The old saying "no pain, no gain" is true. Those who have no tolerance for discomfort will tend to choose inactivity over an uncomfortable learning curve.

Those types eventually become prisoners of their own criticism.
