[[:encoded, "Persistence is the ability to continue to get up no matter how many times you’ve been knocked down. It requires will power, flexibility, strength of character, determination, and a desire to succeed at all costs. \n\nMost people believe Richard Wagner became a great composer because he was gifted. Not so.\n\nFrom a young age, Wagner liked the theater and music, but he disliked being on stage and was a slow learner at the piano. But his lack of talent was overcome by great persistence.\n\nAt the age of 15, Richard Wagner decided he wanted to be a composer, so he checked a book out of the library on the subject and memorized it.\n\nTo train his ear, he asked a violinist from the Leipzig Orchestra to teach him about keys and chords and learnt the technique of every orchestral instrument except the harp.\n\nAs well, he studied the works of Beethoven to understand how to capture sounds and interpret them as sheet music.\n\nBut Wagner’s early works were so bad he was jeered offstage. After one of his first performances, he was forced to escape by the rear doors to avoid an enraged audience.\n\nIn his persistence to hone his musicianship, he studied the works of Mozart and Bach line by line until he could construct a lyrical phrase.\n\nOver the next 5 years, Wagner continued to re-learn the basics, appearing as often as he could to showcase the music he’d written. Following literally hundreds of performances where he was jeered and heckled off stage, he gradually began to appreciate what sounds his audiences liked to hear and write his music accordingly.\n\nIf Wagner had not been determined to create music his audiences could appreciate, we would never have known many of his masterpieces. How determined are you for where you want to go? Could you be even more persistent?\n\nIf you get value from these Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.
