I have been pretty much perfectionist. My number one hobby had/has been cello from five year old. I have been said to have really bad fingertips from crucial practise they had to be very much like wrapped to vaseline or such like (those strings where the one’s which had the umm.. which made fingertips blister and such..:S).
I wouldn’t practise at home i moved to grandmother and father to practise (couldn’t get myself to get in terms with mother surprise surprise).
About the praising part.. Well in the terms of playing the cello, i have been applauded to have nice sound in my playing (hard to chew), always have to be better and never enough. By the way in the other thread in which i poured my mind out in about the same 7th grade this cello-hobby got me exclude myself from other’s. in string-orchestra in which everyone should play for each other i changed from joyful to gloomy…. i turned to upside down. If i could have i had not been too much in my pride i would’ve said i didn’t have everything okay. But i had to think for my mother whom was in the same place as a teacher…..
One of cellopals once straighten me really straightworthy. I belittled my part which i had played and she said that one should take compliment to one’s heart when it comes true. It sure made me feel bad because i realized what i had done. So i went to say i was sorry for not taking it in and that i wasn’t so easy on taking stuff like that. She made me promise to practise to take that praising in and try hard not to be so sceptical on it. Well i sure has got practise and i have some ways done it.
As in short… progress has happened drawbacks as is usual but lately well shortcomings have been happening and it sure has been hard to get praised… all in all well.. one never knows.
