Competitions
One lucky guy, don't remember his name, got eliminated from the final round of a piano competition, and it made his career.
Martha Argerich, always in demand for these things, was one of the judges. When this guy was eliminated, Martha got up, told the judges they didn't know what they were doing and she wanted no part of this sham - and walked out.
After this, everybody wanted to hear this guy.
When anyone makes the statement, "You can't have it all", I reply, "Clearly you don't know about Martha Argerich".
