There was a nanotechnology conference in 1998. I realise what some may be saying to this. Either, 'What nanotechnology conference in 1998?', or 'What is nanotechnology?', or even 'So what - that was ten years ago!' At least at the time of writing this... Well, whatever - there was such a conference in 1998 and I decided to mention it as there was a similar conference much more recent to this one in June 2003 held between members of the European Council - and so I 'smelt a rat' because frankly, I am certain that the general public at large did not know about either fixture. Back to 1998. The specific or actual title for this event was, 'Second International conference on Integrated Micro-Nano Technology for Space Applications 1998'.
The FIRST conference was apparently in 1995! Intrigued? Surprised? I certainly was. Nothing was said on U.K television at least... One may ask, 'why write about this'? Well, this recent area of technology is of considerable importance, or at least it soon will be (especially in light of the more recent EC conference on nanotech'), due to the very 'nature' of the subject itself and what it will mean not too far from now. Though as it is already 2008, some of what follows may already be in prototype stage.
This is probable fact, it is not scare scaremongering. But, what is Nanotechnology and Micro-technology (?), irrespective of these or any such conferences. Each in turn, for the two disciplines, though very closely related, are not exactly the same thing - or one and the same, at least in terms of size. Nanotechnology is concerned with the concept of 'smart' materials and even semi-autonomous machines or devices, ranging in size from something like an ANT, to near molecular dimensions - small enough to go into a hairline crack in a skirting-board, or to be injected into a living host respectively. Micro-technology however, is concerned with 'things' ranging in size from that of an ant to that of a small caterpillar or millipede. The 'infrastructure' for nanotechnology and micro-technology is already fairly established - and one of the very first (if not the first) 'micro-nano bots' was seen going across our television screens for a few brief seconds, circa 1987-88 (I forget the exact year, but remember seeing it in the late 1980's). This particular 'thing' strongly resembled, and was about the same size as one of those very small hair-clips, only on four tiny 'legs'. Some sort of 'synthesis' between a very small microprocessor and the memory-metal that it was made of, enabled it to move of its' own accord. But that was the late 80's - and this is 2003! The 'speed' at which micro/nano-technology has developed over the last decade or more since then, is on par with the development of the microprocessor itself during the decade or so before that.
Practical experiments/prototypes have included 'devices' that can be placed within the smallest areas or confines, such as minute cavities in walls, or cracks in pipelines or cable-ducts (for micro-technology) - and for nanotechnology, 'devices' small enough to be implanted into a living organism - the human body for instance. The implications of this will be considerable - it is their small/minute size that makes them powerful. Imagine an army of 'titanium-steel silverfish', or a synthetic 'germ colony' that could be controlled at will; either directly through a hand-held radio-control unit, or indirectly via a program stored on a 'remote' computer that 'instructs' the micro/nano-bots what to do (also by radio-control/telemetry).
These are currently (at the time of writing this) the limitations of nano and micro-technology. Because of the sizes involved, all-in-one 'on board' designs are not yet possible - and so they are not yet capable of fully autonomous operation. But this will undoubtedly change.
It won't be long before we do have micro-controllers (essentially complete computers-on-a chip with memory and everything that have been around since the 1980's; as opposed to 'ordinary' microprocessors/cpu-chips) small enough to fit onto devices of such size (the smallest one's are in the area of 4.mm-square; although this would already fit into a micro-device the size of say a large caterpillar) - and subsequently micro-bots (if not perhaps nano-bots) that ARE fully autonomous and therefore independent of any host system.
This would mean that your synthetic germ-colony could instruct itself to lie dormant for any period of time and to then 'awaken' and perform whatever at a pre-programmed date... Various scientific institutions around the world have already created working micro-robot (and even some nano-robot) experiments, including devices that can crawl, burrow, go across or under water and even one's that can fly! These developments in both micro and nano-technology have drawn great interest from both public and private concerns (government departments and private corporations). This includes the 'space race' authorities that have been quick to realise (in theory at least) both the cost-saving benefits and operational benefits of such devices, especially in maintenance roles - hence the 'First International Conference on Integrated Micro-Nano Technology for Space Applications' in 1995 (!) - and subsequently the second one of 1998!! The home-page of the website that I visited quite by chance upon a visit to Hove library in 2001 was entitled, 'NanoSpace 98 - to the planets and beyond...' subtitled - 'Call for papers.' This is the truth! I know this sounds 'unreal', but there you have it.
The overall aim of this conference was to continue the revolution in the development of space technology or hardware through a combination of nano-electronics, nano-scale disciplines and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for, or as the 'building-blocks' of Application Specific Integrated Micro-instruments - or ASIM's.
International experts in these fields were brought together to determine or ascertain how they could be best applied to space exploration - and to explore the various aspects (hardware, software, protocol, etc) for both unmanned and manned space missions/activities yet to come. The conference was organised by CNST - Centre for Nano Space Technologies, which is a division of the 'Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research (IAIR) based in Houston, Texas - and was sponsored by NASA (!) and SAIC - the Science Applications International Corporation. Yes, I know what you're thinking, but this really, really is the truth).
This conference was a serious business. It was not a bogus or superficial event. Organisations like NASA and SAIC would never have put them selves forward to the level that they did if it was. The concept of 'smart machines' that could 'investigate' anything, anywhere and operate like any 'full sized' machine, but at micro and even nano scales, was a proposition too good to miss. Because for nearly every form of full-sized robot/device, there is already a prototype equivalent at micro-technology proportions and probably will be at nano proportions relatively soon (again; micro-tech' = ant size to small caterpillar size, nano-tech' = near microscopic size to near molecular size).
For instance, a typical spot-welding robot in a car assembly plant is about five feet tall and six feet long at the armature and the same thing at micro-tech' scale approximately one cubic centimetre (overall occupied space). It rotates, it pivots and it welds! The average submarine is forty-feet long and can enter a harbour or a large underground cave. There are micro-technology scale/sized submarines three centimetres long and one centimetre wide that can similarly navigate rock-pools and enter cavities in large boulders, or enter the gap between the outer and inner casings of an underwater pipeline to extract/extricate some small organism that has somehow burrowed through! In space exploration, the micro-welder could detect and repair mission-critical apparatus, whilst the 'submarine' could be used to inspect liquid carrying conduits or pipelines, such as for hydraulic equipment.
Most of this is probably hypothetical however. It is not yet certain, even by the space research/exploration people that will use the technology, precisely which micro-scale (MEMS) devices/applications, will be used for what purposes. But what is known for certain, are the specific areas that were covered at great lengths during the conference itself (in 1998).
Main objectives were disciplines for reducing systems costs, adding new capabilities and improving reliability. To identify mission applications and 'enabling technologies' for long-term goals. To hold 'workshops' for the exchange of information/procedures pertinent to space applications of these/those technologies.
Papers were subsequently submitted (on invitation) by those that attended the conference (many eminent scientists and experts in the fields of micro-technology and or nano-technology) on the following areas:
1. Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for space applications. 2. Low-power micro-scale devices. 3. Procedures for data processing. 4. Memory types to be deployed or used on devices. 5. Communications standards that would have to be deployed to enable micro-scale devices - and even some nano-scale, to 'talk' to remote or 'standard' devices such as normal computers, but most importantly, to each other! 6. Applications Specific Integrated Micro-instruments (ASIM's), of which the building blocks will be nano/micro-nano scale electronics and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). 7. The adding-on of ASIM's to assist or support existing space-systems capabilities. 'Now this is the good one!' 8. Applications Specific Integrated Micro-instruments (ASIM's) as the building blocks for micro-scale SPACECRAFT. And it continues... 9. Operational and applications software for ASIM's. 10. Sensors for space applications. 11. Biomedical applications for human exploration of space (which basically means the idea or concept for physical interaction of nano-scale devices with human operators on space missions; presumably to help combat ailments, viruses, etc). 12. Defining precise manufacturing and packaging platforms and procedures. 13. Software considerations for design, fabrication, administration and general operations.
It is quite obvious that they wanted to take everything into account during this conference. They really, really were serious! There were three days of general presentations and a following one-and-a-half days of practical 'workshop' sessions. Those present focussed on specific conceptual and technological considerations, that led to recommendations for implementations in the future.
The actual decisions reached at, or by the end of the conference is probably not known to anyone who was not there, as no information regarding this is mentioned on this website that I looked through (and I still have it - 'highest bidders please...'). But it can be said that a great deal of something was reached. Unless this whole thing was indeed, yet another pass-the-buck/sponsorship/tax-fiddle stunt... A gravy boat for an unknown inner, inner circle. Who knows?
By pure coincidence, I came across a copy of the 'Sun' a few days after reading this article - and in it was a picture of an ANT with a microchip in its' JAWS! The newspaper was on a table in a Chinese take-away... Initially a scam involving photo-retouching software came to mind, but the article went on to explain that the article was NOT a hoax, but most very, very real indeed.
The ant was of the kind found in the U.K and approx' 3.5mm long (which are a lot smaller than those found on the European continent (never mind say Africa/South America) that are approx' 5-6mm long), so how small was the microchip!? At that scale/proportion, it must have been in the region of 1.5x1.5mm Square! The article stated that 100,000+ transistors were on it!! The 'VLSI' (very large scale integration) microchip (a prototype at least) was already conceived as early as 1985-86 (although I herd 'VLSI' even a few years before that), so I totally accept what this article said and its accompanying photograph. Perhaps this microchip in the ant's jaws was the first 'VvLSI' device (very very large scale integration)?
The small 'v' by the way, is because two upper-case V's look like a 'W' side by side...' Of all the things you end up discovering... The gist of what the article said is as follows - and more than backs-up or makes feasible/credible, this 'Nano Space-98' conference. By 2020, micro-scale and nano-scale technology will be as pervasive as current 'normal' microchip/computer technology is today. Apparently, the present (at the time of writing this) so-called pinnacle of ICCT (information, computer + communications technology) forged by the 'old-guard' of IBM, Intel & Microsoft; will become obsolete.
In 2020 a standard cell-phone will be a ring on your finger. An entire computer system of desktop/notebook capability will be a roll-out/roll-up flexi-screen, or button-hole-microphone sized high-resolution projector connected to a 'matchbox' in your pocket. Smart-bugs in your veins will automatically detect infected cells and carpets will be able to change colour and depth of pile! Flying video-drones moving at twenty, thirty, forty miles-an-hour and powered by the sun, will relay video evidence to the authorities (or to corporations...) A whole new industry will have been created worth £100+billion a year. The world hasn't only just got small, it's getting even smaller. And as to what this is about to begin with - micro/nano-technology in space; is that outer space or INNER space? And why was there no mention of this conference (and what it implies) to the public at large?

Artificial Photosynthesis - The Next Giant Green Power Plant, Generator
Do you know that an hour of sunlight falls on earth is approximately equal to the energy that a planet uses in a year? So are we running short of energy? You tell me...
But the remaining problem is, for centuries researches have been striving to solve the mystery of breaking sun energy into applicable one. This chemistry reactions have long ago been solved by Nature.
The leaf of a plant can do what we call Photosynthesis that absorbs energy directly from the sun. The effectiveness of Photosynthesis is very high leaving humans' invention like solar panels far away behind. The most efficient currently known solar panel can only convert about 6% of sun energy. We waste the other 93% of free sun energy that's available in abundance.
So, for years scientists are trying hard to find out what and how complex chemistry takes action behind this Photosynthesis process. Once this mystery is solved then we can mimic the process and create somewhat Artificial Photosynthesis to convert solar energy into applicable forms of energy with high efficiency.
What does The Plant Actually Do in Photosynthesis?
Very simple to say, "Splitting Water Molecules". As you might have known, Water is built by 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen Molecules.
But, splitting water molecules requires very complex chemical reactions. The action takes place in leaves, algae, phytoplankton, and other green organisms. Basically, the plants break water (H2O) into its components Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The Oxygen Molecules is released to the air, and we use them to breathe our lives, that's why we don't want these green organisms population continually decrease in numbers, because we and all the planet depend on them.
The Hydrogen is used to convert Carbon Dioxide that's taken from air into Carbon-Based Organic Molecules. These Carbon-Based Molecules can be said as the food for the plants, these molecules are used to build plants' tissues.
Once the scientists solved the mystery of Photosynthesis and create an Artificial Photosynthesis then we can use the Hydrogen Molecules that has been split and use them to replace Gasoline. And currently the scientists are working hard to solve this case.
So, if plants have already solved their energy needs a very long time ago, we don't need to find other technologies to fulfill ours. What we need is to study the plants and learn from them.
As the saying goes, "If the Leaf can do it, so can we".

Millennials - The Era Has Just Begun
The Millennials are here and they are making their own demands and stating their clear vision. They have started to define their own trends and making a big impact with marketers, retailers, advertisers and politicians. Many are even now buying cars, houses, investing. Many will get married and have families of their own. They will really make an impact on the American business and economics.
This Millennials was the time between the periods 1977 to 1998. Today there are nearly 80 million of them. This generation has been raised as the most child centric time of our history. It is due to the high expectation from the parents and the attention they had when they were kids that made this set of generation displays a great deal of self confidence. This generation is technically highly literate and has been brought up in a tech savvy environment with the latest electronic gadgets like the computer and PDA's.
Millennials are mostly non traditional. They are not at all cynical about getting married and raising families. They do not want to make the mistakes made by the earlier Generation X and the Boomers.
Millennials are mostly team-oriented getting together to socialize rather than try to pair together. They best work together in groups and prefer this setup to work individually. They are excellent at multi tasking having juggled school with sports along with a social life when they were kids. This makes them extremely hardworking. They however expect to work in an organized workplace. They respect designations and want to have a good relationship at work with the superiors.
You should remember that the Millennials are new to the workplace which is a professional environment. They would therefore need some good mentoring and coaching no matter what kind of confidence level they exhibit. You can be absolutely sure that they will respond very well to any personal attention you give the Millennials. Since they respect a structured approach, the meetings organized with the Millennials should well planned and the message must be conveyed in a more authoritative style.
You could give them a lot of challenges but you will need to provide a structure to back it up. So you will need to break down the goals to small tasks and you should be ready to provide the necessary information and resources needed to accomplish the task assigned. It is preferable to coach the Millennials in groups because they are excellent team players.
Everything is not a bed of roses for these Millennials. Even the shrewdest among the members of this generation will find the options given to them by the marketers confusing. They feel that they know everything and need not take anyone's help. They feel that they can get all the information they need online.
There is a high chance of the Millennials making the wrong decisions, the reason being that this generation has seen nothing but prosperity. If given the choice of paying the premiums for the health insurance or making some saving in a mutual fund or in a bank deposit thereby giving up on the luxuries of a social life or some new technology gadgets, this generation will prefer foregoing the bills.
The Millennials have the desire and intention to transform the planet we live in to make it a better place for future generations. They really sense the joy when they feel that they have made at least a small start in this direction. Their beverage of choice is considered to be wine. Just as wine is considered to be the civilizing drink which is critical to the health, the Millennials considers the drinking of the wine more important than paying of their debt

Let Your Dreams Lead You to a New Career
Everyone has dreams, but all too often they let these dreams fall to the wayside and end up wondering years later whatever happed to all of the dreams that they had when they were younger. This doesn't have to be the case, however; it's possible to not only hold on to your dreams but also to make them come true by letting them influence your life and your career choices. Instead of simply saying that they're nothing more than dreams, you can make a conscious decision to embrace those dreams and see them through to the end. Not only will you get to see your dreams become real, but you will find that by letting them influence the work that you do and the direction that your life takes you will be much more satisfied with your life's work in general.Recognizing Your DreamsIn order to live your dreams and let them lead you to your dream career, you will first need to realize exactly what your dreams are. Take some time to consider the things that you want and what you would like to see come to pass in your life; these aren't the fanciful obsessions that you might get from time to time that will pass in a matter of days or weeks, but are instead the lifelong ambitions that you've held on to ever since you were introduced to the concept. Look into your heart, see what's really important to you and what you would like most of all to see happen in your life, and that is where you will find your dreams.Relating Your Dreams to Your WorkWhen you start seriously thinking about your dreams and comparing them to your life as it is right now, you might wonder how you're ever going to be able to reach your dreams from the place that you are in life. Look at your job and the things that you do, and try and imagine what it would take in order to reach your dreams from this starting point. For some people this might be easy, and you might have been living out portions of your dreams without even realizing it for quite some time. You may notice that your volunteer work is what you love.For others this could be a rather difficult task, however, since they may have taken the job that was needed at the time and then never really got a chance to start working toward their dreams again. Consider where in your career you are, and whether it's possible to get where you want to be within that same career path. If it's not, then you should start researching different career options until you find the one that will take you to your dreams and help you make them come true.Using Your Work to Follow Your DreamsWhen you can see yourself reaching your dreams from the career that you have, then it's time to start putting your energy into following your career path to the point where you can reach your dreams. Set goals for yourself and for your career, and keep trying after every setback until those goals are reached. It might not always be easy, but once you have the career that's right for you making it to your dreams will seem to be a natural progression.
20 Tips to Dress for Success
Do you possess the look of a professional? Do you look incredibly smart? Are you confident enough to take charge and get the job that you applying for?Consider the fact that your resume is quite impressive and the employer can’t resist to have the audacity to ask you to come for an interview. But after the all the preparations, your final problem will surely comes up right after you realize and ask yourself ” what should I wear?” These things are actually important for the job hunters, people tend to have a systemic problem nowadays regarding what they should wear on a job interview. Honestly I’m wired toward automatically seeing the person in these kind of situations because I also had the same experienced when I was hunting for a right job. However many take these for granted, with the eloquence of having an “impressive resume” they forgot that applicants will not only be examined based on the job experience and personality but also with how they present themselves professionally.Here are the top 20 tips in dressing for an interview
1. Research if the company or your potential employer have a specific dress code.
2. If your planning to buy new clothes, get good advice from sales persons.
3. Have the clothes altered to fit and accent your features.
4. Select an outfit that you have worn before and are comfortable wearing
5. Your hair should be clean and neat.
6. Do not wear a strong perfume or cologne, scent must be low key or absent.
7. Cover any tattoo and limit pierced jewelry to ears only.
8. For men – Wear a suit or sports jacket that is color coordinated with your trousers.
9. For men – You should have clothes in Neutral or dark colors such as blue, black or gray.
10. For men – Wear a conservative and low key tie. Avoid ties with flashy patterns.
11. For men – Keep your sneakers away. A clean, polished black leather shoes is highly recommended.
12. For men – Don’t forget to trim and clean your nails.
13. For men – White socks are definitely NO! Use dark socks.
14. For men – Use dark suit and light colored shirt.
15. For women – Wear a classic suit or simple dress paired with a jacket.
16. For women – The appropriate colors are navy blue, black, dark green, dark red, burgundy or gray.
17. For women – Don’t be too provocative or sexy.
18. For women – Trim your fingernails and use a polish that complements your clothes and would not distract the interviewer.
19. For women – Choose a moderate shoes which is clean and with heels that makes you comfortable.
20. For women – Use a tan or light hosiery.Clothing will play a role in your career so you should continue to pay attention to your wardrobe. Add pieces made of high quality that will match to what you already have. Buy separates that can be mixed and matched. Dressing is not everything but it will definitely add up to your overall impression that you will make on.These are some advices and the right tools that I can give to someone on their job hunting, but I have to leave it here. Because as we all end up with reality, applicants must not look good with their own respective dress but might as well have the confidence to make themselves qualified enough for the job. Job hunters should think first all the requirements before going to an interview, from the resume to his/her diploma. They must be ready to answer the question exquisitely. So if you want to have a job career in the future, you should consider these suggestion for you to succeed.

4 Tips to Save Money Buying a Computer
Are you overwhelmed and stressed when you go out to buy a new computer? All the options available and the high cost, just to name a couple.For most, purchasing a new computer doesn't have to be stressful or expensive at all. Just set a budget and try getting a computer with as much of what you want within that budget. Here are 4 simple tips to help anyone to save money when purchasing a new computer.1) Shop around.Shopping around will not only inform you about what is available out there, but it will also tell you where the best deals are.2. Don't Get the Fastest, Most Expensive Computer.That is unless you absolutely need it. Consider this, you have been working on the same computer for the past 4 years. Even a less expensive NEW computer would be a considerable upgrade from what you now have, right? It doesn't have to necessarily be the LEAST expensive but getting the most expensive, fastest computer out there is somewhat overkill. If you don't need that power, then it is wasted.3. Install Your Own "Extras".Most stores will offer the Operating System (OS)and possibly some sort of lower end Word Processor with their new computers. All else will be extra. Chances are that you already have all the extra software you can use at home. If you do, simply install them when you get your new system home.If you DO need extras, shop around! Often you will find better deals elsewhere.4. Don't Buy the Extended Warranty.Most computers come with a one year warranty and if you are going to have trouble with your computer, it will usually happen during this time or much later. If it happens later, then in most cases, it would be less expensive to purchase a new computer instead of repairing your old one.If you have an unlimited budget, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. If your computer is for business, then be sure to get everything you need in a computer, while trying to keep the price down.One thing to keep in mind though is that buying something that does not fit your needs is never a good deal.
3 Simple Solutions on How to Make Your Computer Go Faster
How to make your computer go faster? Know your computer. That is one of the most important things to take note of when you decide to ramp up the speed, or restore it to its former glory not so many months ago. Information is one of the most important aspects of upgrading or tweaking your CPU and OS. The central processing unit and the operating system are part of a much larger picture; a picture in which you need to know about. What kind of memory are you running? How much? What is the speed of the memory? What about your computer chip?You should have all this information and more before you decide to do anything and people often slip up and spend gargantuan amounts of money because they did not realise what they had under the hood in the first place. Once you have all the information then you can start to increase the speed of the computer. One of the best ways to do so is to upgrade the memory, because more than likely, you have been installing recent programmes on a machine that was assembled before it was published.Programmes are pretty scalable, but when too many are installed on a system or if you are working with huge files, you need to ramp up the memory and remove one of the bottlenecks of the system. Memory, especially RAM (or random access memory) is pretty affordable nowadays, even hard disks come pretty cheap. Buying one will solve plenty of problems for you. Another way is for you to defragment your disk. You may have heard this advice somewhere before, but there is a darn good reason why that advice is there in the first place. A fragmented hard drive means that data is strewn about.This means that to launch a programme, Windows has to go through the motions of re assembling the fragmented data into a coherent code before the programme can launch. This causes massive slowdowns and system hangs even and you need to address this issue pretty quick. It is a good idea to defragment your drive once every 2 to 4 weeks, and this makes sure that you have a speedy hard drive that can launch programmes quick.Also, the registry is one of the main chokes on a computer system; meaning that the tiny file that resides in your system core has the capability of slowing your system down to a crawl if it is not maintained. Zero values left by programme uninstalls, null values from bad code, corrupt data and command lines left behind by viruses and malware are just some of the examples of how your Windows registry can be left a debilitating mess.All you need to do is to download a good registry cleaner, which will take care of 100% of these problems and then some. They are pretty advanced nowadays and can even settle clutter from your browsers, system files and trailing debris left behind by bad uninstalls. These are 3 simple solutions on how to make your computer go faster
Part Time Jobs For Students - Make Money in Your Free Time
Students aging from 13-22 are always in need of extra cash for shopping, watching movies or other needs but the problem is that employers reject their application because they are too young, they can't work the hours available because they have school work or many other reasons that do not make any sense. Even those who do get accepted do not get paid a very good amount of money for the long hours of work they do on the weekends!So many turn to the online community for other ways of earning some decent amount of cash for their needs. They take paid online surveys, which is the best and most common way for students to make some extra cash. This can be done from your home or dorm room and all you need is a computer with internet connection and your brain, that is it! You do not have to give an interview to the company, you start right away and start making cash right away as well! In order to complete surveys, you do not need a diploma, a degree, any pc experience or any knowledge at all.Surveys can be from what kind of chewing gum brand do you like to what do you expect in a good gaming console. It really varies so you will never be bored answering surveys.
Play the Piano by Ear Today - You Want to Play the Piano, So Start Playing It!
Many people, including myself have the bad habit of putting things off. We all do it. I've been guilty of it many times in the past. But if you truly want to learn to play the piano, this is something you should not put off until later. The reason is that later always becomes longer and longer until you look back at things that you wanted to do and never did. If willing to learn, there is someone willing to teach you how to play the piano. When I first started out I would always say "Maybe next month I'll start learning to play the piano." And every month I would say the same exact thing.Nothing happened until I made a conscious decision that today was going to be the day I stopped talking about it and just went for it. That's the only way to see what you made of is just to go for it. Don't worry about failing or not being good or and extreme thought we may have that will deter you from doing. Yes, there may be some work involved but I guarantee you that it will pay off tremendously in the end.Don't be afraid to invest in yourself. I'm not talking about breaking the bank. If it is important to you, then invest in the things that are going to help you achieve your goals on the piano. While there are many free things out there that will offer some good material, eventually you want to get to the meat of things. That cost some money but not a lot. I recommend learning to play the piano by ear. Why? This skill can be applied to any genre, or any other skill that you acquire. Learn this, and you will be a guaranteed piano success. Start playing right now if you have a piano. If you don't have a piano get one and start getting as much knowledge about it as you can. Invest in yourself for a change. Aren't you worth it? You only live once so live to the fullest on the piano and in life.
