Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, popularly known as Mozart is known to be a great Music icon. But what a lot of people do not know is that he also had failures.
Mozart was a music prodigy who started composing music at the age of 5!
He was born into a house of music. His father was a musician and he helped Mozart start learning music from the age of 4.
Right from that young age, Mozart was able to learn music and even play difficult pieces just by listening to them and at age 5 he had already started composing his music
But no matter how gifted or talented you are, you cannot ignore the importance of practising your skill.
Mozart was fully aware of this and would go on to spend hours upon hours on his craft.
During his lifetime he was said to have written over 600 musical pieces.
People today refer to him as a musical genius.
But was it all smooth sailing for him?
It wasn't!
He had his ups and a lot of downs.
One of his first major failures was his rejection of being a court musician.
The Archduke Ferdinand of Austria hated this piece and even went on to call it noisy. His last 3 compositions were also reported to be massive failures.
Regardless of these failures, Mozart never decided to stop making music. Even though he failed on different occasions, he never stopped and kept making music up until his last breath.
He went on to write over 600 musical pieces and left a legacy that cannot easily be forgotten.
The question is: Did he fail?
I say: NO!
The only L he took is in Learning

This is just one of a million reasons you

With this story, I am introducing my new series on Hive — True Bravery
source
I've always been someone that has struggled with my emotions — some say I'm too emotional.
I've been sad, and depressed, in situations where I felt I wouldn't be able to pull through, like it was the end of the world, heartbroken, and so on. And I'm sure this is something I think everyone can relate to.
Sometimes our emotions can be overwhelming and hard to control especially when we find ourselves in a difficult situation.
But to triumph in whatever situation that makes us uneasy, we need to summon the courage to face our demons and tame the wild emotions.
In other words:
So far, I believe I have been able to better understand and tame my emotions. I've become more courageous and one thing that has helped a lot with that is the inspiration from both mine and other people's stories and testimonies.
I have decided to start this series where I'll share these stories to inspire and build courage for both myself (as I am still improving) and the reader.
True Bravery
Being brave is having the courage to go through difficult times — Having strength in the face of pain. Being brave is having the tenacity to face rejection. It is quite an important trait for anyone who wishes to navigate through the maze of life.
Not everyone is born brave. I've never always been courageous all my life. However, it is a trait that we can adapt.
I'm more courageous than I was a couple of years back and I think you can be too.
That is the whole point of this series — to inspire you with real-time stories that will enable you to summon the courage to face whatever adversary you may be facing.
While it's true that true inspiration and motivation are indeed summoned from within, they can also be fueled by external sources like the stories and testimonies of others who may be facing or may have conquered similar adversaries.
This will help us establish a deeper and stronger relationship with ourselves.
It will be a constant reminder that whatever it is we are going through — we are not alone!
It is easy for one to feel alone and think we're in the worse situation ever but in truth, we aren't. There is usually someone out there going through something similar, or even worse.
However bad the situation may be, there is usually always a way out and we can only find it if we learn to be courageous!
Thank you for reading!
I hope you look forward to the next episode.

Hey there @sweetsoul
Mozart! It is nice you bring him as an example. He was a genius, as they say, though nothing can be achieved without work and persistence, indeed.
Hmm, are you sure it was Archduke Ferdinand? Btw, it should be of Austria (a tiny country in Europe where Mozart lived, not Australia)
This Archduke was born in 1863 and Mozart died in 1791, so I can't imagine Mozart performing it for him. Can you please clarify it? thanks :)
Hi @mipiano
Yes, you are correct, he didn't perform the song For Archduke Ferdinand.
I simply meant to point out that his first set of performances at Burgtheater Wien was not great as Martín y Soler’s Una Cosa rara came on the scene and essentially pushed Mozart's work aside.
Archduke Ferdinand only made the statement later on when he listened to the piece.
Pardon my poor rendering in the article. I've made adjustments. Thank you very much
That makes more sense now :))

No matter the situation we are in,there are people in worse situation than that,so no matter the situation we are in we should always be brave to overcome it. Thanks for this beautiful piece @sweetsoul you are sweet,just like your username says.
Great posting right here, for real. But nota related to your writing, of course, but, why always european musicians are named everywhere, and no other great talents elsewhere? I mean, Mozart was shocking and prodigious but he wasn't the only one. On that sense, classic music os a bit clasist.
