My First Shot at a Manifesto

Here's a first draft of my College Manifesto. What I wrote applies to my life as a music major, as well as my life in general, as a person. Here it is!

1. Exercise discipline by practicing/studying music for at least two hours a day, or more if possible.
2. Finish everything I start.
3. Approach all tasks with bold optimism; be less skeptical/sarcastic and more positive and friendly.
4. Take advantage of every opportunity that I am presented with.
5. Do not judge anyone or anything too quickly.
6. Make sacrifices when necessary; do not let anything get in the way of achieving my goals (e.g. make a social sacrifice to practice/study instead of go out with friends).
7. Be auto-didactic; do more and learn more than only what is required.
8. If another artist is better than I am, take it as a challenge rather than discouragement; use it as motivation to improve.
9. Find value in every educational experience.
10. Be open-minded, outgoing, and honest.
11. Spend money only when necessary; do not spend frivolously.
12. Make no excuses; get the job done.
13. Allow myself a little time to relax each day.
14. Remember that I chose this career to follow my bliss; remember that I love what I am doing and should enjoy it.
