A Quote by David Hurn
My advice is: learn from the best or teach yourself. And do not bother at all if you do not have an exaggerated sense of curiosity.

One of the best ways to learn anything is to teach yourself.

To teach one who has no curiosity to learn, is to sow a field without ploughing it.
There's really no way to teach you how to act, but there is a way to teach you how to teach yourself to act. That's kind of what it is; once you learn the little tricks that work for you, pretty soon you find yourself doing that.
Rule of life. If you bother to ask someone’s advice, then bother to listen to it.

I was a really good youth boxer, and I enjoyed the sport very much. Once I actually started to play the trumpet, it is very similar to boxing. Most of the great trumpet players boxed: Miles Davis was a boxer, Wallace Roney is a boxer, Terrence Blanchard is a boxer. In a boxing ring, no one can help you. It's just you and the other guy, and your job is to get him out of there, to outscore him in the best sense of it. When you learn to box, the first thing they teach you is to protect yourself at all times, and some people also learn that they like being hit.
If the advice is simply to respect yourself and follow the path that you want to follow, that would be the best advice I could ever pass on.
You go from being with the guys all the time in the locker room, in practice, having a militarized brain in terms of this schedule, and then, all of a sudden, you are on your own.

Be yourself. Follow your heart. I know it sounds obvious, but it's the best advice at anyone ever. Take advice from other people, but take from it what feels right for you.
