You never know what the future brings

Response to a post in Linkedin

When I write something like that people say I complain too much (Anthony?). However, I understand. I have had my life destroyed when my career was outsourced and I had to rebuild. And then two years ago I broke my neck in an auto accident and almost nobody was there to help me. I could have died. Instead I experienced a miraculous recovery. Life is still difficult and I still have no friends in L.A., or America really, BUT you never know what the future brings.

 Last night I played piano for a wedding of 400 people. The piano was beautiful and perfectly in tune. I played jazz standards and boogie woogie and the people loved it. The children were running around and the women were dancing and the men were tapping their feet.

 My parents never wanted me to be a piano player and I continued despite their advice. There is not one friend in life who was encouraging or supportive of me playing piano. I was not even very talented naturally. However, I have produced 20 CD's of original piano music and even get royalty payments on occasion. Always believe in yourself. Be straight and honest and true and never lose sight of your objective. You never know what the future brings.
