    Don’t worry I wasn’t assuming anything at all and I’m in agreement with what you say, all I said was that focus, according to my experience, is not something that can be taught but rather a result. And I don’t pretend to have 1/10 th of your competence as a teacher, I was simply making notice of something.

    Laura, thanks so much for what you have shared with us–I find it so inspiring, and I really appreciate the thought that, even with the various motivation tools, the ultimate motivator in practicing is the hoped accomplishments, both within (self-mastery) and without (the beautiful performance).

    Some others mentioned the process of acquiring students; in that, I really liked what Sam Milligan wrote in his article “QUESTIONABLE ETHICS” (in his blog on this web site).
