I no, its that troll who passed as a sixth grade genius its remarkable he doesn't post here any more

I am fairly certain that most of the composers on this forum would enjoy having their music "praised and recognized". However their primary drive is their love of music, not adulation. It is said that a psychotic builds a mansion in his head, and then moves in. Then a psychiatrist charges him rent........I hope you have lots of money..........Otherwise, please post one of your beautiful compostions and the members here will be more than happy to express their opinions.

I'm channeling our leader today! So many fragile egos here.  :D:D  The only way to be successful in this business is if you  don't give a rat's *ss what other people think of you.  This is a psychological type that is raised like a trained monkey from the time he or she is young to love themselves and perform for audiences. Unfortunately, this can lead to a lack of empathy.  Lacking empathy is a sure sign of bad art, bad creativity.  It's how we relate to eachother that makes the work of art.
 
So make mediocre creations and get recognized now...or create what you fancy..and not give a rat's *ss what other's think or say!  Either way, you wont be but a comPOSER until you can empathize with others.  (BTW that does NOT include empathizing with fragile egos.aa0

Art is a gray area between people liking and enjoying what you have created; while finding a way to be unique and different from everything else.

I will make one more post here for others to reply to.  As I said, I am currently learning how to compose as of now.  But I have no true passion for composing alone in of itself.  My true passion is having these awesome and beautiful songs I've created in my mind to get praised and recognized by as many people as I can find.  It's not about me as a person getting admiration.  Rather, it is about these songs since they are so great, special, beautiful, and powerful to me and they sound like those top of the line songs you hear that are produced by hardcore musical professionals.  The brain is an amazing thing and it can create such songs in your head.
 
Now my composing dream is no different than if you wanted to build a house, but you have no true passion for working with tools and being skilled at building houses.  It wasn't about the process of building that house.  Rather, it was about that house being created since this house is the most special and beautiful house to you and you really want it to be built.  So that is the analogue for my composing dream. I have no true passion for the whole process of composing.  Rather, my true passion is having my envisioned music praised, admired, and recognized by as many people as I can find since it is these songs that are important to me; not the composing.
 
Some people might say that I am not a true composer.  They might call me a composer which would be a poser in the composing art.  But I don't care about that.  I just want these songs in my mind to become a reality and for them to be praised and recognized.  I know this is a set up for failure and disappointment since there are so many factors that could prevent me from achieving this goal such as some fatal illness or disease.  But I am still going to go through with this composing dream of mine anyway and just hope that I achieve my goal.

So basically you're just like 95% of Millennials, who want to bask in the glory of fame and respect but would quite rather skip the whole process of getting there. In other words, you're a chronic dreamer. 

Dreaming's great!  But thinking you're something you're not is cognitive dissonance.  I can relate to what he's saying though...the idea of music being more of an obsession than a joy, but if he's not producing than it's just all talk and no action.  A tease!

We're all dreamers. When I was younger I used to put some really good music on headphones and fantasize that it was me there up on stage playing it and that all my pals were in the audience thinking "damn he's good...." 
 
But that's all it is, a dream....
 
And at the end of the day, if some great achievement was to be handed to you on a plate magically without having to go through the effort of actually achieving it, I really don't think you'd appreciate it because you just wouldn't feel the self esteem. You'd feel like a fraud. I feel the same way about winning the lottery, I really think I would feel a little deflated about it. Other's mileage may differ.....

I wouldn't feel like a fraud.  Nepotism is the way this economy works.  They call it *networking* but it's really a network of nepotism.  If you dream though, you might not recognize the nuances of your chosen profession.  That's what the dream overlooks or is naive about.  I've hung around enough musicians to know the game.  And yes, there are tons of psychotic individuals in positions of power;  very fragile egos.  I've even known some professors with weak egos.  It's always about them OR it's always quid pro quo.   Not everybody wants to live like that.

I never said that I was just going to sit there and dream.  I already told you that I was currently learning how to compose as of right now.  I am actually dedicated to composing now and I just hope that I can achieve my goal which is my only reason for taking up composing in the first place.  If I had some fatal illness that would kill me off within a few days, then I would give up since I cannot achieve that goal.  
 
But as long as I don't have such a horrible predicament happening to me, then I will go through with my composing.  Being hit by a car or a bus is something very unlikely and has never happened to me in my entire life.  I live in a safe home and environment.  So the only horrible fatal event I have to worry about are things such as illnesses and diseases.
