went to a poetry night yesterday... talk about synchronicity... 

the causal chain. 

i mentioned poetry to one friend who then sent me that event. 

had lots of fun met great people. 

i already managed to make a song, combining the flute and the poem. i can see a big hit coming!!!

For each area of mastery, there are gonna be about 10 critical skills to master, not just one.

For example, as a photographer:

  • Photo manipulation
  • Lighting
  • Photo editing
  • Graphic design maybe
  • Writing (if he's gonna be a travel blogger/photographer)
  • Marketing
  • Sales

As a musician:

  • Ear training
  • Improvising
  • Lyric writing
  • Composition
  • Harmony
  • Musical Theory
  • Audio editing, mixing, mastering
  • Video editing, mixing, mastering
  • Learning to work with samples
  • Learning multiple instruments (if you are a film composer)
  • Marketing
  • Live performance
  • Networking and People skills

You are seriously underestimating the scope of the work. If your life purpose is music, you must master at least the top 3 skills from the usual 10 in your domain of mastery. That's why you have 60+ years ahead of you. So get to work. ;)
