Six Questions of Socrates

In my life I have achieved many things but I have achieved most in music.  Many of these values I have and continue to practice when I am striving to become more excellent in the field of music.  You may think that you just really need to practice on your instrument to get better using these goals as a pedestal.  But these virtues are more than that, a really good musician has excellent skill in their instrument as well as a good heart, which with that comes good values.  I have achieved these levels of excellent by a harmonic blend of all of these virtues.  In my life I feel that I fall short in the area of courage.  I don’t recall doing many purely courageous acts.  I feel that I don’t like to take risks in situations that I feel are not worth taking the risk because the end result is not clearly predictable.  I need to learn to take smart risks even if the ending result is probably bad, but I do need to realize if the overall ending will result in something good.  For improving on my lacking of courage, I just need to take more risks in things that really matter to me.  I do take risks but they are often things where I can have most of the control for the end result.  With this being said I will continue to strive for moral excellence to become an individual of honorable virtues.
