My French horn makes sounds that are beautiful and mellow

– only if I try my best

It is not easy, I know

I just have to try — that’s my only quest

Beauty is produced from hard work

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

This is how the world works

What you get in return

Is a reflection of your efforts

What you get is well earned

You earn money

— only when you do your job

You get best times in races

— only when you try hard in training

You get good grades

— only when you study hard

You paint a beautiful painting

— only when you put forth a lot of effort

If you want to be impressive

I have just one little request

— believe that you can do better

Even after you just did your best.
