Here are a few of the things I’ve learned to keep a balance between them. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Some of my best achievements have been based on my mistakes. When you make a mistake, talk about it over coffee with your friends instead of sitting in the office beating yourself up over what had just happened. Let other people do their jobs. I’m the kind of person who will often do someone else’s work if it means getting it done better and more quickly. This can mean sacrificing (牺牲) my free time, however. Just let other people do their work —you’ll be surprised at how well they do it. Put work aside when it’s done for the day. My biggest problem when it came to balancing my work and my life was the fact that I always brought my work home with me. I’d wake up in the middle of the night to finish a report, or even leave the dinner table to take a business call. Now, when work is done for the day, I put it away and spare the rest of my day for myself and the people around me. Take notes, and live your life —you’ll do much better when you can put your full heart into your work during working hours, instead of sacrificing your fun. 21.

Within the space of a month, two of the greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. Handel’s father was a barber and a surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didn’t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret. One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the duke’s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel’s father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose. Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince. Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where he’d heard that there weren’t nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste for Italian opera. After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne. When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany. In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper. If you ever go to London, look for Handel’s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there’s a wonderful monument to him. 28. How did Handel begin to learn to compose?
