When someone sings, there is a range and tone that sounds good without any effort. It takes skill and effort to extend beyond that range, but having enough confidence in the fundamental range and tone is much more advantageous. It is an innate talent that will eventually be revealed effortlessly. If you stick to the basics, the craftsmanship will follow. Confidence is built on adhering to the fundamentals. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Let’s think about it this way. If you run a business and only make one transaction per day, chances are you won’t keep a record of those transactions because you can remember them. However, if there are hundreds of transactions in a year, or even in a single day, will you be able to remember all those transactions? A business makes a profit, but do you know how much you have earned or how much you’ve lost? After all, if we don’t keep the books, we can’t know the profit or loss. Those book records are called financial statements (balance sheets). You can do business without reading and understanding financial statements, but you’re just doing the hard-working, foolish thing without knowing the real content of the business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
