Jazz Music which is about 90 years old began during the early 20th century in New Orleans in the southern USA. This was invented by black musicians. Jazz musicians do not write down every note in their notations. They just provide an outline consisting of a tune and harmonies. The tunes and styles were passed on by ear. Syncopated rhythm is another feature of jazz music , where the stress falls on the unaccented beat. Jazz has complex syncopation. Jazz musicians never play a tune the same way twice and it is improvised on the spot. Jazz is like a musical language.

  I like playing the guitar. Though I am not very good at it and am still learning, I can play some tunes.I spend quite a lot of time playing the guitar so much so I get scolded sometimes by my mother. I suppose I do tend to spend a bit too much time with it. anyhow, playing the guitar is very enjoyable.  I also like talking evening walks around my neighborhood. In the evening the air cool and refreshing. The children are busy playing and the neighbors are friendlier. So I take leisurely strolls, Sometimes stopping to play with other children and sometimes stopping to chat with the neighbors.  Another thing that I like doing is getting up late in the morning . During weekdays I have to get up early or I will not get to university on time. On Saturdays and holidays, It is so pleasurable to just lie in bed in the morning without having to get up and hurry to university. Again I tend to lie too long in bed and my mother has to come and tell me to get up.  Listening to t...

As such , self confidence is important in one's life since it stimulates him to strive to achieve his goals , strengthens him against criticism , and enables him to believe in himself and tackle obstacles.  To begin with . one of the innumerable advantages of self confidence is that it stimulates people to strive the persevere to achieve their goals and aims in life. self assurance motivates and encourages a person to persist in order to approach his target in life and what he aims for in the future.
