I was just reading a post on flutenet about the American Flute convention, and a quote from Wissam Boustany sprung out at me. Wissam was a finalist in (I think) the first BBC Young Musician competition, as is an internationally renowned flautist and teacher.
The quotation:
"Who is better, the one who thinks they can't but tries, or the one
who can but doesn't?"
I'm going to try very hard in future to be the first, not the second. Natalie, I take my hat off to you!

Wissam is a great teacher, he came to my flute course I went to and I was blown away with his teaching and performances. It is a good motto though.

Hmm, I think I need to try to be the first one more as well!

Great quote...
