I played the piano and violin when I was still a little kid. But being a grown up, it is hard to keep up with your hobbies. I haven't been playing any musical instruments since 10 years ago, and I'm enquiring if I should start to...

downtrodden I never had any formal training, but I can play a little bit of piano by ear. I tried the acoustic guitar a few times, but it hurt my hand pretty bad that I ended up giving up before I could really learn. Also tried the flute, clarinet, and drums but didn't...

downtrodden In the Bible, Jesus at one point says "The best gift a man could ever give is to lay down his life for his friends". I'm not a religious person at all, but I think this is one of the best lessons you could learn from the Bible. I believe this is the only time...

downtrodden Reading for learning IS one of the best reasons to pick up a book. It doesn't always have to be for leisure. Books certainly are a great way to exercise your brain and your imagination. :)

downtrodden Those are very good suggestions, offlimits. Thanks! And no, it's not silly at all to read children/young adult literature. I shamelessly admit to reading and rather enjoying the Harry Potter series. I got started reading with Choose Your Own Adventure books...
