How To Use Low Expectations In Your Favor

Ryota Mori made an excelent post on Presentation Zen, about the performance of Jake Shimabukuro on TEDxTokyo. He is an amazing. He is an amazing ukulele player, that will blow you away.

I leave you with a passage from the post, and the video itself.

"The ukulele itself, and those like Jake who play it so insanely well, represent both the struggle and the inspiration and delight that comes from blowing away other people's low expectations of you through your own hard work, unbridled passion, and dedication to excellence. As with the ukulele, others may misunderstand you or not take you or your cause seriously. Others may not give you a chance or think you are too small, too young, too old, too unusual to take a chance on. Few people take the ukulele for a serious musical instrument, and yet Jake shows us how misguided that kind of conventional wisdom is. Jake and his ukulele are an inspiration."

Ha! I almost forgot, if you haven't done so yet, watch the last video, the "Jake Shimabukuro LIVE Concert: Crazy G (encore)" at the end of the post, you will not regret it.

Have a wonderful day,
