Choose the right chair

Fernando Pavarotti was a baker and loved to listen to opera. So he encouraged his son Luciano to study music. Yet Luciano was more interested in becoming a goalkeeper in football. He also taught at a school for a while. Still he loved music too. And was uncertain what to choose for his career. His father told him that he had to decide which chair to sit on. If he tries to sit on two chairs, he will probably fall in between them, crashing on the floor. Luciano later said ‘That’s what I did, I chose one chair, and I studied music for 7 years before I made my first professional appearance on stage as an opera singer. Then it took me another 7 years to make my first appearance at the Metropolitan Opera of New York. That’s when I realized that whether you’re a baker, a teacher a goalkeeper or an opera singer, you have to chose one chair. And that’s what I did. I chose the right chair for me.’ I hope you too can choose the right chair for you, and be happy with your final choice.
