Brave new pathways

"Beethoven is called a genius. But we need to be aware that his genius was based on incredibly strenuous effort. It all comes down to hard work, to tenacious efforts. You cannot become a person of the highest caliber if you have a casual, easygoing attitude, thinking things will somehow just fall into place. Accordingly, Beethoven's motto was 'No day without a line.' Every day without fail, he wrote music. He would not let even a single day pass" [zui gi sho setsu]
