It is all about the formula used to be perfect. To you and I a horse appears to be graceful and naturally gifted at what he is doing whether it be walking gracefully or jumping effortlessly. The same as billionaires; everything they touch seems to turn to gold and they appear to make more and more money in whatever they do. These are all similar traits to seeing a musician perform; they know what they are doing, they can command an audience and are amazingly talented. Behind all of these finished products there wasn’t just luck or being at the right place at the right time. A graceful obedient horse will have been trained to be this way and the work and patience of the owners and trainers would have been immense. Hours and hours each week would have been put into the horse to ensure that the finished product was spectacular; a horse that can take instruction and is very graceful in every move they make. All this has to be worked at from the very beginning and still continued through the horse’s entire life. When it comes to the billionaire; let us take Donald Trump as an example. He has worked extremely hard to become what he has today and build up the businesses and assets that he has. Not many people will know this but in the 1980’s even Donald Trump managed to bite off more than he could chew and had to declare bankruptcy before having to start all over again. He took losses as well as wins and had to learn the hard way before getting it right. This is the same of musicians…When you see the finished product up there on stage it is hard to believe sometimes that these were once young men learning to strum a few chords on their guitars over and over again. A professional musician would have spent years to get to where they are and a lot of sacrifices would have been made along the way. They may have struggled financially in the early days and put everything into their music. There are also the hours and hours of practicing and rehearsals everyday and preparation for the live gigs. There would be tough times during the learning process too where something is very difficult to learn and can become frustrating until it is repeated and repeated over and over again to imprint the learning on the brain. So as you can see, these three have a lot in common.
