2. What
is
this
about?
I
have
found
that
you
can
encourage
things
to
happen
but
you
cannot
make
things
happen.
If
you
are
a
bit
driven
or
a
bit
obsessive
you
will
find
that
life
is
better
if
you
can
stay
reasonably
busy.
I
volunteer
some
of
my
time
to
local
youth
and
children
clubs.
I
have
had
cartoons
published
I
have
had
writing
published
I
have
recorded
with
bands
I
have
broadcasted
on
community
radio.
I
am
a
featured
artist
in
a
publication
called
No
Need
for
Words
where
my
method
of
working
in
a
specialist
setting
is
the
subject
of
a
chapter
by
music
professionals.
This
makes
me
a
true
practitioner
and
I
am
proud
of
that.
It
is
tremendously
hard
work
trying
to
earn
a
crust
in
the
creative
industries
it
always
has
been.
We
are
living
in
a
time
when
proper
jobs
are
hard
to
find
at
the
same
time
we
are
realising
that
people
need
to
feel
like
they
have
a
function
in
this
life.
Older
people
have
the
wealth
of
experience.
It
seems
odd
that
they
find
it
so
difficult
to
get
decent
paid
work.
I
can
fill
side
after
side
of
A4
with
lists
of
things
that
I
have
done
well,
it
is
one
of
life’s
great
puzzles
to
me.
If
I
seem
like
I
am
complaining
about
my
situation,
I
apologise.
There
are
tons
of
people
like
me
who
are
capable
and
have
great
skills,
that
are
on
the
verge
of
being
thrown
away
or
given
up
on.
That
is
what
it
feels
like
for
people
like
myself,
out
here
in
professional
cold
simply
because
nobody
has
got
their
brain
round
a
job
description
for
what
used
to
be
insultingly
called
“jack
of
all
trades
and
master
of
none”.
Mr
or
Mrs
or
Ms,
adaptable,
useful,
nice
person.
At
the
young
end
of
what
we
call
“Adulthood”
(a
terrible
misnomer
as
there
are
many
infants
who
know
about
being
more
grown
up
than
adults)
eighteen
years
old.
You
are
straight
out
of
school
dodging
about
from
scheme
to
scheme
or
you
have
to
go
into
massive
debt
to
continue
with
your
learning.
What
a
waste
of
the
energy
and
potential
of
most
of
the
young
people
in
the
entire
country
but
then
on
the
positive
side
what
a
brilliant
way
to
begin
to
prepare
people
to
be
dumped
and
wasted
in
later
life.
Perhaps
I
need
to
stop
here
before
this
does
turn
into
a
rant.
J
What
follows
is
a
list
of
stuff
that
looks
like
experience
but
in
fact
it
is
just
part
of
my
lifetime
of
experience.
I
have
forgotten
and
blanked
a
lot
of
things
in
ordre
to
survive.
If
you
have
made
it
to
this
point
you
will
know
what
I
mean.
