Hello, Marty! Recently a period in my life came which made me review all my priorities, and at that moment i remembered you. Your music is wonderful, insipiring, free-flowing and passionate, as are you, i think. I read some of your answers here on the improvement topic, and you seem like you ALWAYS had the motivation and inspiration. How much percent of it were coming from the bottom of your hear and how much was brought by the outside factors? Now i'm reading several books by Robin Sharma, a famous author, expert in business-consulting and best motivation specialist in Amerika, and you both say somewhat similar (well, expected). Please, tell me, what were your inspirational books, priorities, what motivating thoughts came through your head and keep coming now? It will be interesting to hear. I'll waiting patiently, thanks. Greetings from Russia!

Thanks for your kind Q! I never really had any inspirational books, or big motivations. I just found something I could do reasonably well and I knew that if I JUST DIDN`T STOP, I could only get better at it and not worse. That`s really it...good luck and see you in Russia!
