I was a very shy person when I was younger. I had a stammering challenge and relatively low self-esteem. Those were real obstacles 那 made me look further into myself to find out if I could make this drumming dream happen.
I come from a little village on Long Island. When I told people at the age of 12 or 14 那 I wanted to travel the world and play drums, they would laugh at me. 的 y’d say 听,孩子,它’不会发生。随便做一件事情,在邮局找一份工作,在周末打鼓。 我必须重新评估自己的信念,激情和渴望。
Now 那 I’m much older, as I’m traveling the world doing what I love, I get a little concerned and hope 那 what I’我做的真的很有效。希望人们能感受到我的努力成果。
我一直在问自己: 我希望我’m doing this right.
我回想起尽可能多的积极反馈意见,希望有’外面有人说“Man, 那 guy Famularo screwed me up.”
我一直在问自己:我希望我’m doing this right.
我小时候,除了结结巴巴,’t see well. When you’再八岁,你’重新戴上厚实的眼镜,你可以’不做很多运动。我以为我擅长篮球,但我没有’不能组队,因为当我的眼镜被撞掉时,我无法’没看到。这让我头晕。我没’甚至没有那么好的学校。我是如此的狂热和专心,以至于我可能会成为我们今天称为多动症的海报男孩。我可能会’曾经在世界上的每一种药物。
Music became the crutch 那 held me up. I realized 那 a crutch is not a bad thing – it’s a support object 那 holds you upright so 那 you can continue going on.
As I get older and closer to the end, whenever 那 end is, I start to think back and say, “我正在尽我所能吗?我在这一生中看到的最多吗?” It’s not about me. It’s about the message 那 I am able to share, to lift other people. 那 is totally what this is about.
我们认为 I want to have this and 那, I want to have 那 car, live in a nicer house. 物质的东西。我有很长时间的车–沃尔沃240 GL。那是一种箱形汽车,我于1989年购买了它的全新名称。他们说,因为这是全钢制发动机,可以使我行驶一百万英里。
We have great things in our life 那 are right in front of us. To seek the opportunity in the moment, the value of 那 which is in front of us, we have to have the maturity to notice it.
那’s why owning the moment and living in the 现在 is so important: I only worry about 现在 . I only worry about the grass 那 is under my feet 现在 。我学会了享受它,并为此而感恩。当我在生活的草坪上迈出下一步时,’我的脚下会再有草’那一刻我会喜欢的。因此,如果我们能够拥有那种体验和感觉的魔力,并日复一日地接受它…that’等同于绝对美好的生活。
的 balance of music in my life still inspires me to this day. This is really a wonderful gift. I need to make sure I understand the gift and 那 the grass is absolutely beautiful when I just pick up my foot and look down.
