Men - more drive and talent in interesting ways?? More extreme??

Check out the world's best selling albums ever here.

Guess how many female artists listed. 3. That's right....Whitney Houston, Alanis Morissette, and Shania Twain.

I've been thinking about this for a while. Are men more talented at 'doing' stuff compared to females? Why are there so many male multi-instrumentalists? Male chefs? Male Fashion designers? I mean..cookery and fashion are female 'worlds'. But they have males on the top rung of the ladder of success. Somewhere somehow I read about men and their hobbies. They take their hobbies so seriously because they need to be in control of something somehow, and achieve something. That's why they can't just 'cook', they need to be a chef! They won't sew or draw generally, but if they do it's about being the renowned designer.

I think, in general, men have this extreme drive about hobbies, things or abilities they love that I don't see so much in women. Not that it doesn't exist. But how many girls spend 20 hours a day playing computer games compared to boys? How many like their technological toys as much as boy? how many can play every instrument in a band? In uni, it was the guys who were either unbelievably lazy, or the ones who practised like maniacs.

I confess I'm a bit envious. Men seemed more preprogrammed to obsess about something. And with that, they become either jailbirds and druggies, or top musos/designers, scientists etc. In relation to my field of work, I see male artists all over the world who can do so much I can't do. Sigh. I want to be able to play everything, and WANT to play everything. Not just force myself to practise, but have a inner burning drive to actually do it. I want to be able to produce and engineer too. I basically want to be superwoman. Since there are quite a few supermen.

But I have to accept my limitations and yet stretch past them at the same time. God help. You did not make me a man. Can you show me how I can offer my gifts to you best as a woman?

Fear and Faith

I wish I could get rid of this feeling of underlying fear that grips me once in a while. After every high there is an inevitable crash. Or when I wake up, it's really hard to face the day not quite knowing what you should do or what the goal is in the end. I can picture this trembling kid in my mind, who's quite desperate to cling on to something for safety and comfort. And that kid is me. But the kid's alone. And there's no one to actually to hang on to, and nothing to hug, not even a pillow. But the kid is also wary of clinging on to anything because that might prove disastrous, as it has in the past. You get entangled with unnecessary things or people So, Kid is stuck with just holding nothing. Waiting. I mean, it's not like God never warned or foretold that this journey would be lonely, I'd be seemingly alone, but He would be with me. I would look like I was wobbly but He would uphold me. The only time the fear really alleviates is when God's pres...

陶喆 David Tao Mash Up 2 - 流沙/普通朋友（by Charis蔡佳靈 + Nray 胡恩瑞 + 森林ㄌㄜˋ園）

高中會重覆聽100遍的歌就是‘普通朋友' 和 ‘流沙‘ ☺️ 很開心可以和森林ㄌㄜˋ園團長阿綠把這兩首百聽不厭的歌串在一起，重編成band sound的歌；然後和 N-Ray 胡恩瑞 &樂手朋友們呈現出來。謝謝有才的朋友們的參與！也再次謝謝負責攝影間接 Rick Lin 。希望你們會喜歡～歡迎分享、留言、訂閱、按 💗 ！也可以跟我們說你們要接下來聽的歌（那些點‘沙灘’的朋友我已看見你們的留言！) I remember re-playing 'Regular Friends' and 'Everything's gone' so many times on the way to school. They were such classic hits! Here's the 2nd David Tao mashup video we produced. My gifted singer/songwriter/keyboardist friend Green Lee sat down with me to re-arrange it together (guess which other song we used as a base for the two tracks 😁 ?). Had lots of fun recording and shooting this with my talented pals! Please help us share around, and do subscribe if you haven't yet!
