Effort is one of the things that gives meaning to life. Effort means you care about something, that something is important to you and you are willing to work for it. It would be an impoverished existence if you were not willing to value things and commit yourself to working toward them.  -- Carol Dweck(author of the Mindset)

This is a video based on a TED talk titled "How Playing An Instrument Benefits Your Brain" by Anita Collins.
