... I've read countless amateurs' posts down this board reflecting exaggerated self-abasements, self-critics, and excuses for their pretended poor skills in coincidence with an (also) exaggerated devotion towards all pros. I emphasize EXAGGERATED, since due respect and honest praise to everybody who deserves!!!
However, I never read about any pro self-critics (or should I have missed something?).
Pros and amateurs are different categories in their way of life (time tables, job focus etc.), sometimes also in regard to talents, but not always.
Or is it the amateurs' self-protection (keeping the expectation low), so that the own performance more likely will be seen in a positive light?
As for OBJECTIVE reviews, they are part of those ultra-rarities in this world, btw. Tuba tests and evaluations are as well.
