Quotes from Doing Nothing is Something

"I don’t believe you can write poetry, or compose music, or become an actor without downtime, and plenty of it, a hiatus that passes for boredom but is really the quiet moving of the wheels inside that fuel creativity." I strongly agree with this quote. Unlike other families, my parents don't really strictly set standard for my grade and academic in school that much (well, as long as I pass the subject at the end of the semester). Conversely, they support what I like to do more than academic and schoolwork since they know that's what I am going to do and want to do in the future. My parents give me time to learn, play and write music, also buy and upgrade the instruments and musical device I am using just to help create a better environment for me to play music and accomplish my goal in future. I have a band in Taipei, and my band members are not that lucky. Their parents send them to cram school after school although daily school time is already 8 hours long, and different from junior high, homework and academic in local high school is way heavier than one in junior high, my band members won't really have time to play music and accomplish our common goal until they go to college in Taiwan. Therefore I strongly agree with this quote: the downtime is the time to develop and stimulate your creativity; the more you miss the more creativity you bury.
