Question

The Trouble with Predicting the Future

Alfonso's parents never expected much from him. It is not that they did not love him, but rather that they had watched him develop many bad habits when he was growing up. They watched him abandon projects because he felt he was not working to his full potential. They watched him jump from interest to interest, rarely focusing on anything. They thought these habits would set him up for failure. They were wrong.
Alfonso began learning and writing about music when he was 15. His tendency to quit working on something that did not live up to the expectations he had for himself made him a great editor of his own work. His tendency to jump from interest to interest made him knowledgeable about many different kinds of music. Today, Alfonso is a well-known writer. His parents are quite proud of him.
