Bartok on the challenge!

I dunno why, some people just keep armoring themselves everyday. As a teacher, when a student ask you a question, why not just answer them? Why do you have to think the student is challenging you? Aren't you happy that students ask questions? They're supposed to ask and you're suppose to answer willingly --- and, with a delighted heart. That's what this teaching business is all about right? If a student is asking you something ridiculous, yes, he or she is definitely challenging you. But come on man, let's face it! It's just a very usual question... If one constantly thinks his/her students are challenging him/her, then there is a big possibility that he/she has no security inside. If you have enough self confidence, you won't see every single thing as a challenge against you. It's very unhealthy to be like that... sigh*

Now here comes the REAL challenge! Bartok tonight!

Dong's concert consists of the Romanian Folk Dances by Bartok, it's an arrangement for string orchestra by somebody (lazy to check the name). And there are lots of solo parts for the concertmaster --- in tonight's case, ME. I haven't had the chance to really practice it, so today I'm gonna ditch Nota Bene to practice it before I out myself into shame on the stage, haha!

I have to pull of this semi-concerto!!!
