Time in the Vanguard

 Time in the Vanguard

What qualifies you to perform in the Kings courts? A set of private music instructions will qualify you for a public reward. Your obedience to a set of private instructions will qualify for the command performance of your life.  One day in the inner court is more than a thousands days in the peanut gallery. (peanut gallery - rearmost or uppermost area in the balcony containing the least expensive seats)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first performance, on July 1, 1912, was called the Royal Command Performance, and this name has persisted informally for the event. This was held in the Palace Theatre, Shaftsbury Avenue, London, in the presence of King George V and Queen Mary. The king said he would attend a once-yearly variety show, provided the profits went to the Variety Artistes' Benevolent Fund, as the EABF was then known. This first staging was a lavish occasion, and the theatre was decorated with 3 million roses draped around the auditorium and over the boxes.

The organisers did not invite Marie Lloyd, one of the most famous music hall artists of the time, because of a professional dispute. She held a rival performance in a nearby theatre, which she advertised was "by command of the British public". The name of the event was changed to prevent possible royal embarrassment. It became an annual event at the suggestion of King George V from 1921.

Playing in the Kings court is a reward for following a set of music instructions. It is an even exchange. Two minutes of wisdom will fuel 2,000 hours of practice. 2,000 hours of practice will qualify you for 3 minutes in the court.  2,000 hours of practice will give you the self confidence so that when you stand in front of the courts. Psalm 92:13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. Violinists by Ericsson and colleagues, the best group (judged by conservatory teachers) averaged 10,000 hours of deliberate practice over their lives; the next-best averaged 7,500 hours; and the next, 5,000. It's the same story in surgery, insurance sales, and virtually every sport. More deliberate practice equals better performance. Tons of it equals great performance. "Elite performers in many diverse domains have been found to practice, on the average, roughly the same amount every day, including weekends."

Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you are no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain which sustain live, not the top. Here's where things grow.

- Robert M. Pirsig2

Time in the Vanguard

  • is the missing ingredient in your environment.

  • qualifies you for a court performance.

  • is the environment that helps you handle yourself because nobody else can

  • is the environment where you know more

  • is the environment to accomplish more
