Buddy Rich on how you suck

Watching this i couldn’t help but think to myself: “what do I want to be truly amazing at?”

I play the drums. I play them quite well. I could probably impress you.

I also play the guitar.

And the keyboards.

And the computer.

And the website.

And the business model.

And the marketing.

And the parenting.

And the husbanding.

That’s why I’m not truly amazing at the drums. Which thing on that list would I give up being good at all the others for?

You may not have to give up everything to be great at one thing, but one day you’re going to watch a video of someone who’s truly amazing and you may realize it could have been you if you wanted it to be a long time ago and then you worked and worked.
