[famous_quotes] Don't quit--keep playing 


A mother, wishing to encourage her young son's progress at the piano, bought
tickets for a Paderewski performance. When the night arrived, they found
their seats near the front of the concert hall and eyed the majestic
Steinway waiting on stage. Soon the mother found a friend to talk to, and
the boy slipped away. When eight o'clock arrived, the spotlights came on,
the audience quieted, and only then did they notice the boy up on the bench,
innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." His mother gasped,
but before she could retrieve her son, the master appeared on the stage and
quickly moved to the keyboard. "Don't quit--keep playing," he whispered to
the boy. Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began
filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side,
encircling the child, to add a running obbligato. Together, the old master
and the young novice held the crowd mesmerized.

In our lives, unpolished though we may be, it is the Master who surrounds us
and whispers in our ear, time and again, "Don't quit--keep playing." And as
we do, he augments and supplements until a work of amazing beauty is
created.
