LEARN HOW TO STUDY
Olive Greustad, the famous dramatic soprano, who was at the height of her career about 30 years ago, was once interviewed by a newspaper man, who asked if she had any special advice to give to young singers. “No one’s advice means very much along a road where every inch must be worked out differently by different people,” she replied. “Some of them realise the importance of details, while others never can be made to realise those things. And if I have any advice to offer it would be summed up in these words: Learn how to study. "Success does not depend any more upon instruction and natural equipment than it does upon one’s power of endurance. To achieve the goal one must be able to cast aside every tie, home and family, to overcome every obstacle, and-to face any and every hardship, and to remember nothing else but study. Many have talent, but few have the fortitude to study and overcome.”
This advice can be applied generally, with good results.
