"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will." --George Bernard Shaw
Imagination
In an effort to reduce student's fear of failure and encourage them to take musical risks, Music conservatory professor Benjamin Zander, decided to give them, in advance, the grade the wanted most, A's. The one condition is that two weeks into the school year students must write a letter, in the past tense and dated May of next year, to Mr. Zander describing what they have learned, what type of person they have become, what happened to them over the year that merits the grade.
BE THE CHANGE
Write a letter to yourself, dated one year from today, about how you've transformed and what you have learned. Seal it in an envelope and set a reminder to read in one year.
