Hi
Russ Conway is a good example.
He had a missing finger - A pianist with a missing finger!
Isn't that ridiculous?
You would have thought he would choose another profession -
But no -
He concentrated on what he could do, whilst minimising his inadequacies.
Because it is not as easy to play chords with a missing finger, instead, he concentrated on developing a unique fast style - With the accent on speed, the need for hard chords was minimised.
It is ironic that, if he had not had a missing finger, he would probably have never developed his unique style, and become a famous pianist.
It seems that his supposed inadequacy actually stimulated him to compensate by developing his unique style.
I think that we all have our weak and strong points, and if we choose to develop our strong sides, then our inadequacies become irelevant.
it is as if our inadequacies are a sort of a test, to see if we have the guts to succeed!!
