Be spontaneous, be unorthodox...

To be great at your chosen trade, you need to be spontaneous and sometimes unorthodox. If a footballer or basketball player is what you're, you don't always need to plan your moves beforehand. Your possession of the ball and the move that follows should be simultaneous, else you'll be so predictable and easily tackled and dispossessed. You'll hold your head in disappointment and yell: "chapan..."

If music is what you're into, your lyrics must flow at the same time with the beat. That way, you can spit some bars even if unrehearsed. You may invent fillers like "yo yo yo!" to buy you time to think, but it has to be moderate, otherwise you'll be on stage disgusting or discouraging your fans with endless nonsense. And by the way, "yo-yo" is an urban jargon meaning a foolish, annoying or incompetent person.

If a technocrat is what you call yourself, you must be quick on your feet with sensible reaction to techincal issues. But you know you're just an overpaid retard if you cannot make decisions without someone else's opinion, and no matter how much technical information you have before you.

But the most spontaneous of all should be the writer. You cannot call yourself one if it takes you donkey's years to begin or continue work on a piece, like you're suffering from a perpetual writer's block, or a forever-lasting writer's cramp. I thought I should say that.
