The Same Old Song...?

As a teenager I had a paper round, and I spent my first wages on a Walkman (if you’re under 25, google it) and I didn’t have a lot of music on cassette (again, google it) so I listened to ‘Asia’ by Asia on permanent repeat by flipping the tape at the end of each side (god I’m old).

I must have heard that album over 400 times, and even though it was 40 years ago, my air drums are note perfect as I listen to it now*.

Repeat something enough times and it’s pretty much set for life. Use that power wisely and we can program ourselves for great success - use it poorly and we’ll be playing the same old song for the next 40 years….



* By streaming an album from 1982 via Spotify to my phone, and listening on my bluetooth headphones. I wonder what 15 year-old me would think of that…?
